If You’ll Have Me

There’s something in your touch
That reminds me of the others
But you got something that they never had
And you’ve grown to mean so much
That there could never be another
You’re with me through the good times and the bad

Now you will never know the pain again
Of being all alone
I’ll stay right here beside you all my life
Now, I’ve begun to think
The time has come
For me to settle down
If you’ll have me, I will take you as my wife

There’s something in your smile
That fills me with the feeling
That every day will be just like today
And you know it’s not my style
To let my mind start reeling
But I know this time the love is here to stay

Now you will never know the pain again
Of being all alone
I’ll stay right here beside you all my life
Now, I’ve begun to think
The time has come
For me to settle down
If you’ll have me, I will take you as my wife

There’s something in your voice
When you’re whispering to me, girl
That tells me just how much you really care
I put the ring there on your hand
And you took me into your world
Somehow, I know you’ll always keep me there

Now you will never know the pain again
Of being all alone
I’ll stay right here beside you all my life
Now, I’ve begun to think
The time has come
For me to settle down
If you’ll have me, I will take you as my wife

If you’ll have me, I will take you as my wife

If You'll Have Me

Good Little Girl Gone Bad

A Little Loving Never Hurt No One

The Muse

Used to be that it was easy then
Had a pad of paper and a ball point pen
I'd write down the words line after line
Sit for hours in my living room
Picking out the notes to make up the tune
The guitar sounding sweet against my rhyme
The Muse would come to me 'most every time

Used to play out on the boulevard
And every song I'd sing would hit the people hard
They'd stand around and listen to me sing
They'd applaud and put their money down
Then I'd pack it up and hit another town
Surviving on the fortune music brings
The Muse provided me with everything

Somewhere in between the then's and now's
Life got complicated and I changed somehow
I settled down and have a wife and kids
Got my guitar packed up on the shelf
And all the songs I hear belong to someone else
I don't do those things that I once did
The Muse found someone else and now she's hid

Every now and then I get the urge
To sit back down and call out to her
I get out the guitar and sing those songs
But now I realize they don't sound right
Put the guitar down and turn out the light
What once sounded so right, comes out so wrong
I guess that once she leaves, the Muse is gone

The Muse

"I’m Gonna Love You"

I can tell by your sighs
And the look in your eyes
You’re not too sure
What you wanna do
You say that you want me
But you wanna be free
You don’t understand the changes
That you’re going through
Well, you can change your mind
A million times
I know I won’t be
Changing mine

I’m gonna love you
I think the world of you
There is no one above you
At the top of my list
I’ll be waiting for you
I simply adore you
There’s nobody before you
Girl, I’ll tell you this
I’ve been in love
Since we first kissed

I can tell from your smile
That this could take a while
You’re not sure
What you feel
You like having me here
But you still have fears
You just can’t believe
The things I say are real
Love ain’t blind
And some ties still bind
Stay here with me
And you’re gonna find

I’m gonna love you
I think the world of you
There is no one above you
At the top of my list
I’ll be waiting for you
I simply adore you
There’s nobody before you
Girl, I’ll tell you this
I’ve been in love
Since we first kissed

If you’re caught between
Your head and heart
Just come on with me
And let the loving start

I’m gonna love you
I think the world of you
There is no one above you
At the top of my list
I’ll be waiting for you
I simply adore you
There’s nobody before you
Girl, I’ll tell you this
I’m gonna love you
I think the world of you
There is no one above you
At the top of my list
I’ll be waiting for you
I simply adore you
There’s nobody before you
Girl, I’ll tell you this
I’ve been in love
Since we first kissed

I'm Gonna Love You

"Put Another Log On The Fire"

Put another log on the fire
You’re taking me higher
Than I’ve ever been before
You know that it’s true
How much I love you
I couldn’t love you any more

You know what they say
How hard it is for lovers these days
But I’m gonna try
To make sure that our love survives

Put another log on the fire
‘Cause it’s my desire
That you are right for me
And stay here a while
While we share our smiles
There’s no place I’d rather be

You know what they say
How hard it is for lovers these days
But we will get by
All we gotta do is try

Take my willing hand into yours
Yes, I am so sure
That what we have is right
And walk by my side
There’s no reason to hide
Please stay with me tonight

You know what they say
How hard it is for lovers these days
But we’ll make it through
All I ever need is you

Put another log on the fire

Put another log on the fire

Put another log on the fire

Put another log on the fire

Put Another Log On The Fire

Friends & Lovers

Sometimes a friend turns into a lover
And back to a friend again
And sometimes the change can make the other
Wanna call it the end
This time the call is up to you, girl
I’m flexible, I can bend
The only thing I won’t do
Is pretend

Well, you can say goodbye to the tears in your eyes
That’s not what it’s all about
Don’t have to tell me lies or apologize
Just because the love ran out
Or you can try to hold on though the feeling’s gone
And you’re left standing here in doubt
If you love me still or never will
Time alone will bring out

Sometimes a friend turns into a lover
And back to a friend again
And sometimes the change can make the other
Wanna call it the end
This time the call is up to you, girl
I’m flexible, I can bend
The only thing I won’t do
Is pretend

Well, you can walk away and never say
What it all means to you
Close your eyes and try to hide
Saying things that aren’t true
You can drag it on when the feeling’s gone
In a manner that I’m used to
But if I see that’s how it’s gonna be
We’re better off saying it’s through

Sometimes a friend turns into a lover
And back to a friend again
And sometimes the change can make the other
Wanna call it the end
This time the call is up to you, girl
I’m flexible, I can bend
The only thing I won’t do
Is pretend

Sometimes a lover turns into a friend
Then back to a lover again
And sometimes they both are better for it
Thinking it was the end
All it takes is a little strength girl
All you need I’ll lend
The only thing I won’t do
Is pretend
And if ever the time arrives
I’ll try it again

"She’s The One"

Sky blue eyes
Rose red lips
It’s like lightening striking
When she touch me with her finger tips
She’s got long flowing hair
That’s shining like the morning sun
I’m a one woman man
I’m here to tell you that she’s the one

A golden heart
Tried and true
There ain’t no doubt about it
She shows me with the things we do
She fills me with the feeling
There’s nothing that can’t be done
I’m a one woman man
I’m here to tell you that she’s the one

She's the one
There won’t be any other
At the top of my list
There ain’t no one above her
That’s where she is gonna stay
I won’t let her get away
A one woman man
She’s got me forever
When she asks if I’ll leave
I’ll just say never
She’s my one and only
The only one for me

Warm soft smile
Full of surprise
Can’t resist her sweet kisses
And excitement flashing in her eyes
The girl is a miracle
The answer to my prayers has come
I’m a one woman man
I’m here to tell you that she’s the one
There won’t be any others
Gotta tell you that she’s the one

Sky blue eyes
Rose red lips
It’s like lightening striking
When she touch me with her finger tips
She’s got long flowing hair
That’s shining like the morning sun
I’m a one woman man
I’m here to tell you that she’s the one
There won’t be any others
Gotta tell you she’s the only one

She's The One

Should Have Been There

Seven years a salesman
Had been out on the road
Here and there and back again
He was hardly home
He had a wife who loved him
As faithful as could be
But she saw less of him
Than all the clients that he’d see

During one of his short pit stops home
His pretty wife conceived
In the nine months of her pregnancy
She saw him less than me
He’d tell me ‘bout the letters
He received out on the road
She’d write how much she missed him
And wished that he was home

She’d say,
“Man, you should have been there.
It was such a sight to see.
My belly twice it’s normal size.
Would you still recognize me?
I know that you are busy
And the work must carry on.
But you miss so much at home
When you are gone.
Wish you were here
All along.”

She had a child that springtime
While he was out of town
The baby and the mother
Both grew up while he wasn’t around
He popped in and out of their lives
Just like a yoyo on a string
Barely had a chance to say hello
He missed everything

The wife said,
“Man, you should have been there
When our boy stood at the plate,
When he made good grades in school,
And when he went on his first date.
We understand you’re busy
And your work must carry on,
But you miss so  much at home
When you are gone.
We wish you were here
All along.”

The boy got married last week
And on his wedding day he wrote,
“Dad, I’m sorry you’re not here.
I wish that you could get this note.
I think you’d like this woman.
I bet she’d like you too.
I know I did, Daddy,
In the short time I spent with you.”

And he wrote,
“Dad, you should have been there
When I cried for you at night,
When I needed your words to guide me,
Or for you to hold me tight.
I knew that you were busy.
You had important things to do.
So, in my prayers
I always thought of you.”

“And I know that you loved me
Till your time on earth was through.
I hope you knew that mom and I
Both loved and missed you too.
Gee, you should have been there,
It was such a sight to see.
I only wish that you had had
More time to spend with me.”

Should Have Been There

The Party Ain’t Over Yet

Well, the guests are all leaving
And the music’s been turned down
We’re staring out the doorway
At some new friends that we found
I’ll help you try to clean up this big mess
The party ain’t over yet

There’s a bottle in the hallway
And a beer spilt on the floor
Everywhere we’re looking
We find a little more
There ain’t much sense in getting all upset
The party ain’t over yet

Lock the door turn out the light
This is our part of the night
And there’s a feeling in the air
That tells us everything’s alright

Close your eyes and dream of me
And the love we made today
Everyday it’s better
Love’s supposed to be that way
Just as long as you and I never forget
The party ain’t over yet

The party ain’t over…  yet…


The Party Ain't Over Yet

Oh My God

So many listens these last couple weeks, but I don't have any idea who it is that is listening.  Please leave your comments, so I can thank you for lighting this song up on my list!

"Lady (Where Are You Now?)"

I wasn't expecting to meet you here
I only came in for the music and a couple beers
No, I wasn't looking for your company at all
I was out on the town, just trying to clear my mind
To leave a bad love affair and my job behind
When I noticed you standing over against the wall

You had a look in your eye that said, "Take me"
You had a smile on your face that said, "Now"
You reached out to my soul
You had me under control
And all that I could say was "Show me how"
Oh, Lady
Where are you now?

Now, I can't quite remember how the story goes
I don't even think that the Shadow knows
You grabbed my hand and I didn't put up any fight
You walked me out to your car and you pulled me up close
Your kiss was the thing that I remember the most
The one thing I'm sure of is it never felt so right

You had this look in your eye that said, "Take me"
You had a smile on your face that said, "Now"
You reached out to my soul
And had me under control
And all that I could say was "Show me how"
Oh, Lady
Where are you now?

Well, that night might have happened two years ago
Or it might have been last night, for all I know
I hope that some day it can happen again
I can remember you smiling and waving goodbye
I didn't say a thing, I just stood back and sighed
Now, I try to recall just what happened then

You had the look in your eye that said, "Take me"
You had a smile on your face that said, "Now"
You reached out to my soul
You had me under control
And all that I could say was "Show me how"
Oh, Lady
Where are you now?

Oh, Lady
Where are you now?
Oh, Lady
Where are you now?

Lady (Where Are You Now?)

A little influence of theme from Beverly Hillbillys.  The jam is all mine!

Can't you just hear Mr. Seger singing this version?
