"Wall of Tears"

Looking out my window
Staring through the pain
I can't see the rainbow for the rain
Someday I'll forget you
"Life goes on," they say
But they don't know what's standing in my way
(Chorus:)
(There's a wall of tears that I got to get over
Got to stop thinking of you
Got to learn not to love you
I know the sun will shine
I'm gonna be fine, but until then
The rain's gonna fall just like a wall of tears)
Another morning finds me
Still not over you
Just another day to stumble through
Nights go on forever
I've got nothing but time
Even time can't mend this heart of mine
(Repeat Chorus)


"I'll Always Come Back"

There's a nursery rhyme, it's a favorite of mine
'Bout a little girl and some sheep that she could not find
They told her not to worry, they'd come back
Darlin' you're my shepherd, I'm little your little lamb
You ain't always gonna know where I am
But don't you worry, I'll come back
(Chorus:)
(I'll always come back baby to you
I'll always run back straight to you
I'll never get to far away from you
I'll never get too lost that I can't be found
And I'll never swim to far out out I might drown
And I'll always come back, come back baby to you)
There's a wooden wonder from way down under
They call it boomerang
If you handle it right, it'll come back
Darlin' you must have had one when you were a boy
'Cause you've got the touch that turns me into a toy
And like a boomerang I'll come back
(Repeat Chorus)


"Younger Men"

Women peak at forty, men at nineteen
I remember laughing my head off when I read that in a magazine (I was twenty at the time)
Now I'm staring forty right in the face
And the only trouble with being a woman my age is the men my age
(Chorus:)
(That's why younger men are starting to catch my eye
I'm starting to stop what I'm doing to just turn around and watch 'em walk by
And the very next opportunity I'm gonna give a younger man a try
Cause younger men are starting to catch my eye)
Men my age, poor old darlings, are worried and harry
Lot of them drink too much, whole lot of them are married
And here I am on the threshold of all this fun
And I'm gonna try my best to cross it with a younger one
(Repeat chorus)


"Dr., Dr."

Doctor, doctor, can you spare me a minute
It's confidential just between you and me
Would you listen to my heart tell me how it's holding up
Am I strong enough to fall in love again
(Chorus:)
(Tell me doctor, how many times can a heart be broken
Before it refuses to mend again
Will it give out suddenly with warning
Tell me how many loves have I got left)
I've been reading all about the miracles
Something wears out you replace it with something brand new
But knowing my history what would you prescribe for me
Have I healed enough to try just one more time
(Repeat chorus)


"80's Ladies"

We were three little girls from school
One was pretty, one was smart, and one was a borderline fool
Oh, she's still good looking
That woman hasn't slipped a bit
And the smart one used her head
She made her fortune
And me I cross the border every chance I get
(Chorus:)
(We were the girls of the 50's
Stone rock and rollers in the 60's
And more than our names got changed
As the 70's slipped on by
Now we're 80's ladies
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried)
We've been educated, we got liberated
And that's complicated matters with men
Oh we've said I do and we've signed I don't
And we've sworn we'd never do that again
Oh we've burned our bras and we've burned our dinners
And we've burned at candles at both ends
And we've got some children who look just like
The way we did back then
Oh but we're all grown up now
All grown up
None of us can tell you quite how
(Repeat Chorus)
A-My name is Alice, I'm gonna marry Artie
We're gonna sell apples and live in Arkansas
B-My name is Betty, I'm gonna marry Bobby
We're gonna sell beans and live in Brazil
C-my name is Connie, I'm gonna marry Charlie
We're gonna sell cars and live in California


"Do Ya'"

(Chorus:)
(Do you still get a thrill when you see me comin' up the hill
Do ya?
Do you whisper my name just to bring a little comfort to ya
Do ya?
Do you still like the feel of my body lyin' next to you
Well I guess what I'm asking is
Do you still love me, do ya?) Or do you lie awake, thinkin' I'm the biggest mistake you ever made
Do ya?
And if just by snappin' your fingers
And make it all go away
Would ya?
Do you miss me when I'm gone
Sometimes wish that I'd stay gone just a little bit longer
I guess what I'm asking is
Do you still love me, do ya?
'Cause honey I sure do
Still love you
At least I think I do
These questions I'm askin'
You could ask them of me too
(Repeat Chorus)


"Two Hearts"

You're the picture of lonely if I ever saw one
Sitting at that table so all alone
Don't know what happened, I don't know your story
But if you had somebody I think you'd probably be home
Hope you don't mind if I sit down beside you
I believe that we're two of a kind
It could be better if we were together
'Cause hurtin' together beats hurtin' alone
(Chorus:)
(Two hearts are better than one
Two hearts keep the pain on the run
When its all night and the night's just begun
Don't you know two hearts
Two hearts are better than one)
Honey we don't have to face this all by our lonesome
All tied up by heartache, surrounded by blue
We found each other, don't you know the hardest part is over
Now it's just a matter of following through
We can hold on as the night swirls around us
Sheltered in each other's arms
Oh and it could be better if we were together
'Cause hurting together beats hurting alone
(Repeat Chorus)


"Lonely But Only For You"

My friends set me up with someone they know I'll just love
They say oh he's just your type
He's just the right one to chase your blues away
Friends are such good arrangers
But I'm not in the mood for strangers
(Chorus:)
(Honey I'm lonely but only for you
I'm only lonely for all the thing we used to do
Hey I can function quite well
Hey you can hardly tell
That I'm lonely but only for you
Lonely but only for you)
Now I miss the love, the touch that melted night into dawn
I miss the talks
I miss that shoulder I know I could lean on
It's the same old story
No one else does anything for me
(Repeat Chorus)


"Old Pictures"

There's a little girl playing dress up
Somewhere under all that lace
Standing in her momma's high heels shoes
With a lipstick covered face
Here's a little boy on a pony
He'a cowboy all the way
Used to pull my hair and make me mad
At the Saturday matinee
Oh who'd have thought I'd lose my heart
To the same little boy someday
(Chorus:)
(Looking through my old pictures
Faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears
Others make me laugh
Old memories seem to come alive
And open up the past again
And let me dream inside)
Here's brother with his very first automobile
We thought he'd wash the paint away
He took a job that took him west
He's doing very well
But we don't see much of brother these days
This is my favorite of my paw-paw
He's dressed up in his Sunday suit
Wide brimmed hat
A watch on a chain
I'm gonna tell you the truth
It's a picture of a downright handsome man
Caught in the prime of his youth
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh, ooh, who taught time to fly
Ooh, ooh, who taught those years to just roll on by
(Repeat Chorus)
