Never a day goes by that I'm not thinking of you. Every hour I'm not with you, I'm feeling blue. My mouth gets dry, my heart starts racing, My stomach gets all upset... Well, I haven't been able to figure out what's happening yet. I think I've felt this before. What on earth is happ'ning to me? Oh no! not this again! I think I'm falling in love, (love) falling in love, (love) falling in love. (love) We've been married for quite a few years. We've shared some good times and a lot of tears -- But every once in a while, it happens all over again: My mouth gets dry, my heart starts racing, My stomach gets all upset... But now I know what it is -- how could I forget? I think I've felt this before. What on earth is happ'ning to me? Oh no! not this again! I think I'm falling in love. I think I've felt this before. What on earth is happ'ning to me? Oh no! not this again! Oh no! not this again! Oh no! not this again! I think I'm falling in love, (love) falling in love, (love) falling in love. (love) I think I'm falling in love.

Well, darlin' we've been married for a long time So far we've stuck together come what may And though we lack the pay to travel very far away I roam these city streets with you every single day Down the road of life we travel from beginning to the end Knowing not what might unravel or what lies beyond the bend But wherever it may take us together we will be 'Cause we're traveling together holding hands Just you and me Well, I'm not sure what's comin' up tomorrow I can barely keep up with what's goin' down today But I know who holds the keys to all of life's uncertainties And I know He'll give us guidance as we go along our way Down the road of life we travel from beginning to the end Knowing not what might unravel or what lies beyond the bend But wherever it may take us together we will be 'Cause we're traveling together holding hands But wherever it may take us together we will be 'Cause we're traveling together holding hands Just you and me

My Place 04:25
One cool October day As I was walking along the riverside I saw a young girl And she looked oh so fine Her eyes met mine And she had a gaze of mystery And a tender smile That made me want to make her mine I paused for a moment Just wond'ring what to say to her To start a conversation And sorta break the ice I was afraid That she might slip away from me And the deep regret I'd feel would not be very nice I mustered up some courage And walked toward this lovely girl Still not quite sure of the words that I should say As I approached her I started trembling nervously But I bit the bullet And blurted these words anyway Where are you goin', girl? It's not good to be wand'rin' aimlessly If you're just wastin' time Consider wastin' some with me But if you're goin' to my place Goin' to my place I'd be glad to go along with you What a strange coincidence I'm headed for my place too She looked at me awkwardly And I gave her a sheepish grin And then she said to me "What planet are you from?" I told her "Mars" And we both started laughin' Now the ice was broken And quickly she warmed up to me As we stood there talking She told me, "I've been watching you Yeah, I've been watching And waiting patiently I want to wake up with you For the next ten thousand mornings Why don't we just get married And make a life, just you and me?" Where are you goin', girl? It's not good to be wand'rin' aimlessly If you're just wastin' time Consider wastin' some with me But if you're goin' to my place Goin' to my place I'd be glad to go along with you What a strange coincidence I'm headed for my place too But if you're goin' to my place Goin' to my place I'd be glad to go along with you What a strange coincidence I'm headed for my place too

From the day that I first met you I never could forget you I just knew we were meant to be A gem like you is hard to find We will always be together Our love will last forever But sometimes when I'm away My thoughts can drive me out of my mind When I'm away I think of you, baby And I wonder if you're okay without me All alone When I'm away All I can do, baby, baby Is to worry about you, girl Until I'm home About halfway through the morning It strikes me without warning And you're into my head once more My heart begins to melt away 'Cause I'm aching to be near you To comfort and to cheer you Or to know you'll be all right Until I get home for the day When I'm away I think of you, baby And I wonder if you're okay without me All alone When I'm away All I can do, baby, baby Is to worry about you, girl Until I'm home (guitar solo) And I know sometimes you fear That I may leave and not return But if I did It wouldn't be by choice My heart's desire is to be with you And this I hope you'll learn So I'll tell you this As long as I have a voice (key change) I've been with you through the glad times And even through some bad times And with everything we've been through I never plan to let you go So tomorrow when you rise up I hope that you will wise up And accept my love for you That's why I want to let you know When I'm away I think of you, baby And I wonder if you're okay without me All alone When I'm away All I can do, baby, baby Is to worry about you, girl Until I'm home I just worry about you, girl Until I'm home

Sweet Love 02:20
Sweet love, this song I sing to share my deepest feelings Visions of hope I bring So rare and so appealing Only a little while it seems that we've been married It has been worth it all Each moment that we've tarried We've prayed so many times Before God's presence kneeling He promised in His Word the victory and healing Sweet love, we've made it through many years of life together Through all the trying times and all the stormy weather God knows what next year holds and time will tell the story Maybe eternity will begin for us in glory 'Til then, we must not fear though evil overtake us For God is ever near and He will not forsake us
6.
Darling, I love you And here lately I've been thinking much more of you We spent the first few years just stumbling in the darkness Until we came around to see things clear We had to learn to face each day without fear And major on the love that God has given us, my dear Darling, I love you And it's obvious, my sweetheart, that you love me too It makes me warm inside when you kiss me in the morning Or ask me what's for dinner every night The highlight of my day is spending time with you On days that I miss out on that, It leaves me feeling blue Darling, I love you And I'm happy through and through inside because of you And Honey, I can hardly wait until tomorrow To lay aside the sorrow and begin a brand new day with you

Wanda Oh 04:03
1) My wife knows affection I do show when sometimes I call her "Wanda Oh" "Oh, how much I love you!" is the message that I bring And so I sing this little thing for Wanda Oh 2) When the disappointments overwhelm and our ship is reeling at the helm Then my love is flowing bittersweet from head to feet And then this man does all he can for Wanda Oh 3) When the sun is shining all around and we feel like leaping up and down We will lift our voices in a song and all day long Praise God each time in song and rhyme with Wanda Oh 4) When her life is over, she'll go home nevermore to wander or to roam But her mem'ry always will be mine so in that time I'll sing with pain this sweet refrain of Wanda Oh 5) Then someday up there we'll meet again not as wife and husband, but as friends We will share eternal joy and bliss instead of this I'll see her face and then embrace my Wanda Oh I'll see her face and then embrace my Wanda Oh

Life holds many problems and much perplexity And sometimes disappointments can get the best of me But to share in all my problems there's a lady fine and fair Whom the Lord has brought into my life just to show how much He cares Thank you for my wife She means so much to me She's the sweetheart of my life And beautiful is she Thank you, blessed Lord For love and sweet accord Thank you for this blessing You have given me Each day I look to heaven and praise the Lord of love For all that He has given from His majesty above My crown of earthly glory is the one whose life I share Who, no matter what the circumstance stands behind me with her love and constant prayer Thank you for my wife She means so much to me She's the sweetheart of my life And beautiful is she Thank you, blessed Lord For love and sweet accord Thank you for this blessing You have given me Thank you for my wife (3x)

Curses 02:54
May a ten-ton Stegosaurus Lay an egg upon your doorstep And may snakes cling to your cereal bowl At breakfast tomorrow morning May a great tornado touch down And blow your house to pieces And scatter those pieces so far and wide That they'll never be seen again But that's not the way I feel 'Cause you know my love is real And I'd never want anything to happen to you Like these curses I'm describing to you May the IRS compel you To pay your uncle's taxes And may soap scum form in your shower stall While you're gone somewhere on vacation May a bird do its thing upon you On your way to church next Sunday 'Cause your car won't start and you have no ride And you're walking on crutches besides But that's not the way I feel 'Cause you know my love is real And I'd never want anything to happen to you Like these curses I'm describing to you (key change) I'd never call these curses on you I wouldn't want a thing to harm you So don't let this song intimidate you No! These words should not alarm you If the worst should happen to you Honey, I'd be right there beside you And I'll share those troubles the whole way through Just to prove my love for you 'Cause that's just the way I feel And you know my love is real And I'd never want anything to happen to you Like these curses I have just described to you

Love, When we're together, I feel Your heartfelt devotion so real. Facing each trial I see your smile so true; Singing God's praise All of my days with you. Love, God wrote the music I sing. Glad tidings for Christmas I bring, Sharing God's love Sent from above On this glorious Christmas Day.

Wendi 03:09
Wendi I deeply love you And every single day I'm thinking of you You're ever on my mind Wendi I really care about you And I could never doubt you So I pray Caring Every burden bearing Through the years I'm sharing my life with you Wendi If God be willing There's nothing that can keep us from fulfilling What's really meant to be Wendi Wherever He may lead us He said He'd always feed us Trust in God Praying Circumstances weighing Faithfully displaying the love of God Wendi I'll never leave you And evermore I'm willing to receive you My heart cries out to you Wendi My love is true Wendi Both now and always My love

Good morning, loves It's great to see your smiling faces looking back at me so cheery I'm so glad that you are near me Good morning, loves It's great to know you've made it safely through another year And now that we are here I love you, Mommy Oh I love you, little Joe So much that I don't know Just what to say If I don't say a word My voice can still be heard Though it may seem absurd It's just that way Last year we found that many unexpected tribulations can occur and make it sometimes hard for us to take it We know not what the New Year holds in store for us but face it now we must In God we place our trust Happy New Year, Mommy Oh Happy New Year, little Joe I'm so excited, I don't know Just what to say Maybe this New Year will bring many new, exciting things But for now, let's laugh and sing and celebrate today

The moon is shining intently Upon my pillow tonight But the scene in my head Is not green, blue or red In moonlight it's all black and white I lie here thinking about you Thanking God for the love that we share What a colorful way to finish my day Remembering my love in a prayer My heart is dripping with honey My soul is melting with love Through passing years we've shared joy and tears And I've loved you since before we said "I do" And all of man's earthly wisdom Can't explain my feelings for you But this I know as through life I go That I'm hopelessly in love with you The early years were uncertain And filled with pain and despair But the Lord started healing and beauty revealing The beauty that always was there My prayer is that love could conquer All the sadness, hurting and fear That are bound to return until people learn To be faithful year after year My heart is dripping with honey My soul is melting with love Through passing years we've shared joy and tears And I've loved you since before we said "I do" And all of man's earthly wisdom Can't explain my feelings for you But this I know as through life I go That I'm hopelessly in love with you But this I know as through life I go That I'm hopelessly in love with you Hopelessly in love with you

One day last week I wrote what could possibly be The cheesiest love song ever heard by you or me It was filled with senseless lyrics and an aimless melody That wandered to and fro like a fish lost in the sea I couldn't quite determine exactly what was wrong What seemed to be the problem with this sadly awful song I tried my best to fix it but my efforts only failed My feeble train ran off the track so sadly, it derailed I hope this song for you comes across as more than just fluff More than random notes and words and mostly meaningless stuff I wrote this song expressly to express my love for you And I sure hope it does the job or else I'll have to take it back for a redo Ooh ooh Once again, I'll try to write you the expression of my heart I really want to do this for it's tearing me apart I have all these deep down feelings of love and tenderness But when I put them down on paper they all come out a mess I long to write a song for you and somehow find a way To not compose the lyrics, only then to hear you say: "Put your arms around me, darlin', but please don't make a rhyme, and it's alright if you kiss me, but your song ain't worth a dime." I hope this song for you comes across as more than just fluff More than random notes and words and mostly meaningless stuff I wrote this song expressly to express my love for you And I sure hope it does the job or else I'll have to take it back for a redo with a didgeridoo (didgeridoo plays) One thing is true (spoken) I love you

Lady Fair 04:36
Lady Fair, Lady Fair, I love you so. You came into my life long, long ago, and as we walk alone, I feel so grand just to be close to you, holding your hand. Moments spent here with you, none can compare, for I'm in love with you, sweet Lady Fair. It's such a lovely day! We're happy along the way. The trees, the flowers, the golden hours, the blossoms in brilliant array, are cause to be joyous and gay. God sends his wonderful sunshine of love to brighten the path ahead. He paints vivid colors of orange and yellow and violet and green and red; This splendid display that surrounds us today will differ as days go by, reminding us all that life changes. Oh my! How time does fly! It's such a lovely day! Enjoy it before it soars away! Lady Fair, Lady Fair, you are so fine! I am so glad that our lives intertwine. Each new experience we share each day binds us together in some special way. Even tears shared with you are jewels rare; God heals the broken, my sweet Lady Fair. Lady Fair, Lady Fair, as we grow old, treasuring memories precious as gold, life is not over yet; still we press on, until we ford the stream, victory won. Blessings of life and love flow tenderly from lofty Heaven to my Lady Fair and me.

There may come a day When the children never play And the eagles have no wings And the squirrels have nothing to do When the cats will never fight And the owl just sleeps at night But until that day comes I will always be in love with you And there may come a day When men put their guns away And the people who make laws Can see each other's point of view (ahhh) Everybody does what's right There is no more black or white But until that day comes I will always be in love with you We waste all our lives Waiting for some things to change Either wishing they would Or praying that they wouldn't Doing many things We know full well we shouldn't There may come a day When the earth will melt away And the sun cannot rise So the sky will never be blue (ahhh) And some evening we may find That the stars no longer shine But until that day comes I will always be in love with you But until that day comes I will always be in love with you (I will always be in love with you)
