Only the Lonely

Written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson
Performed by Roy Orbison

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

And there goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the heartaches I've been through (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know I cry and cry for you (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

And maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance

You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
(Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

Down at the Old Corral

Written by Luke Reed and Roger Bryant Brown
Performed by Randy Travis

It seems no matter how far I may roam
Like some ol' tumbleweed my thoughts go tumblin' back home
In memories I recall those simpler times
And a way of life I never left behind

Down at the old corral
Just sittin', watchin' the sun go down
Oh, how I'm wishin' that I could be there now
Down at the old corral

I remember everything I ever heard
Like how to judge a man's true worth by how he keep's his word
That saddle wisdom never seemed to end
Everything I need to know I learned back then

Down at the old corral
Just sittin', watchin' the sun go down
Oh, how I'm wishin' that I could be there now
Down at the old corral

Down at the old corral
Just sittin', watchin' the sun go down
Oh, how I'm wishin' that I could be there now
Down at the old corral
Down at the old corral
Down at the old corral

Take A Letter Maria

Written by R.B. Greaves
Performed by R.B. Greaves

Last night as I got home, about a half past ten
There was a woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool, let me tell ya what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out, and I ain't goin' back again

So, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

You've been many things, but most of all a good secretary to me
And it's time like this I feel you've always been close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life?
All work and no play has just cost me a wife

So, take a letter, Maria, no, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have a new life

When a man loves a woman, it's hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me?

Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh, oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria (oh-oh), address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh-oh, take a letter, Maria

Silent Night

Written by Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace

Love's pure light (love's pure light)
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Sleep in heavenly peace (sleep in peace)

Tom Sawyer

Written by Alexandar Zivojinovich, Geddy Lee Weinrib,  Neil Elwood Peart, Paul Phillip Woods
Performed by Rush

A modern-day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets high on you
And the space he invades, he gets by on you

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to
The friction of the day

I'd Really Love To See You Tonight

Written by Parker McGee
Performed by England Dan and John Ford Coley


Hello, yeah, it's been a while.
Not much, how about you?
I'm not sure why I called.
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.

And I was thinking maybe later on.
We could get together for a while.
It's been such a long time.
And I really do miss your smile.

Chorus
I'm not talking about moving in.
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around.
And I'd really love to see you tonight.

We could go walking through a windy park.
Or take a drive along the beach.
Or stay at home and watch TV.
You see it really doesn't matter much to me.
I'm not talking about moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight.

I won't ask for promises.
So you don't have to lie.
We've both played that game before.
Say I love you and say goodbye.

Where Are You Christmas

Written by James Horner, Mariah Carey and Wilbur Jennings
Performed by Faith Hill

Oh, oh, hmm
Where are you Christmas
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play

My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too

Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go, oh

Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time

Oh, I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away, oh
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas
Fill your heart with love, mmhm

Is There Life Out There

Written by Rick Giles and Susan Longacre
Performed by Reba McEntire

She married when she was 20
She thought she was ready, now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some living
But now she's just wonderin' what she's living for
Now she's feeling that there's something more

Is there life out there? So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond her family and her home?
She's done what she should, should she do what she dares?
She doesn't want to leave, she's just wonderin', is there life out there?

She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how to live for today
Oh, she's dyin' to try something foolish
Do something crazy or just get away
Oh, something for herself for a change

Is there life out there? So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond her family and her home?
She's done what she should, should she do what she dares?
She doesn't want to leave, she's just wonderin', is there life out there?

There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then?
Oh, she looks out her window, and she wonders again

Is there life out there? So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond her family and her home?
She's done what she should, should she do what she dares?
She doesn't want to leave, she's just wonderin', is there life out there?
Oh, is there life out there?

Is there life out there? So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond her family and her home?
She's done what she should, should she do what she dares?
She doesn't want to leave, she's just wonderin', is there life out there?

Oh, she doesn't want to leave, she's just wonderin', is there life out there?

My Next Thirty Years

Written by Phil Vassar
Performed by Tim McGraw

I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era, and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord, have mercy on my next 30 years

In my next 30 years
I'm gonna have some fun
Tryto forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do it better in my next 30 years

My next 30 years I'm gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I'm doing here, in my next 30 years

Oh, my next 30 years
I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers, huh
Maybe, I'll remember my next 30 years

My next 30 years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here
In my next 30 years

In my next 30 years
Oh, oh-oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Alright
Oh, here we go boys

Who's Your Daddy

Written by Toby Keith
Performed by Toby Keith


Here you come knockin' on my door baby
Tell me what you got on your mind
I guess those college boys all went home for the summertime
And you're lookin' right, lookin' good, lookin' like a woman should
So why is it so hard to find
A place to lay your pretty little head down once in a while
You run on a little tough luck baby
Don't you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for ya
You know I got it
Come and get it

Who's your daddy, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your friend?

And who's the one guy that you come runnin' to
When your lovelife starts tumblin'?
I got the money if you got the honey
Let's cut a deal let's make a plan

Who's your daddy, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your man?

You might've run on a little tough luck baby
Don't you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for ya
You know I got it
So come and get it

Who's your daddy, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your friend?

And who's the one guy that you come runnin' to
When your lovelife starts tumblin'?
I got the money if you got the honey
Let's cut a deal let's make a plan

Who's your dady, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your man?

Who's your dady, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your man?
