I Count The Tears
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na,
na, late at night
I sit and count the tears
I have counted everyday since you've been away
It seems
like a thousand years
And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na,
na, na, na, late at night
I sit and count the tears
And I have counted all your lies, all your alibis
Now, I'm
a girl, believes just what she hears
And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na,
na, na, na, late at night
I sit and count the tears
He's gone and found somebody new
She may be happy now but
soon
She'll be counting everyday that he's been away
And it will seem like
a thousand years
And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na,
na, na, na, late at night
She'll sit and count the tears
She'll sit and count the tears
She'll sit and count the
tears
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na,
na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na,
na, na, late at night
I Think It's Going To Rain Today
Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in a sky
streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to
rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles
to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to
rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it
down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and
show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to
rain today
Oh Holy Night
Oh, Holy Night
The stars
Are brightly shining
It is
the night of the dear
Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin
And
error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt
It's worth a thrill of
hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new
And glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh,
night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the
angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh,
night divine
Oh, night
Oh, Holy night
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh,
night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the
angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh,
night divine
Oh, night
Oh, Holy night
River Is Waiting
The river is waiting
Come rise up
A new day is coming
Come rise up
We’ll be sailing at first light
Come gather
Set our
course for the crossing
Together
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River
sail on
The river is waiting
I'm ready
To slip from this island
I'm ready
Gonna leave all my sorrows
Behind me
Lift my face to the
new day
I’m rising
Oh, sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River
sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River
sail on
Sail on, sail on
River sail on
Sail on, sail on
River
sail on
Sail on, sail on
Same Old Blues
Morning rain keeps on falling
Like the tears that fall from
my eyes
Oh, as I sit, as I sit in my room staring out at the gloom
It's
the rain, it's the same old blues
I can't help, I can't help but thinking
When the sun used
to shine, shine in my back door
Yes now, the sun has turned to rain
And
all my laughter has turned to pain
It's the pain of the same old blues
Sunshine, sunshine is all you see now
But it all looks
like, it all looks like clouds to me
But as I sit, as I sit in my room
Just staring out the window looking at the gloom
Oh, it's the rain and it's
the same, same old blues
It's the rain and it's the same old blues
Yes,
yes, it's the rain and it's the same, the same old blues, yeah
Thinking About You
Yesterday I saw the sun shining
And the leaves were falling
down softly
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch
And I was thinking
about you
But here I am looking for signs to lead me
You hold my hand
but do you really need me
I guess it's time for me to let you go
But I'll
be thinking about you, I'll be thinking about you
When you sail across the ocean waters
And you reach the
other side safely
Could you smile a little smile for me?
'Cause I'll be
thinking about you, I'll be thinking about you
'Cause I'll be thinking about
you, I'll be thinking, thinking
Thinking about you
Time iS On My Side
Time is on my side
Yes, it is
Time is on my side
Yes,

Now you always say that you want to be free
But you'll come
running back
(Said you would baby)
You'll come running back
(I said so
many times before)
You'll come running back to me
Oh, time is on my side
Yes, it is
Time is on my side
Yes, it is
You're searching for good times
But just wait and see
You'll come running back
(I won't have to worry no more)
You'll come
running back
(Spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come
running back to me
Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do
everything your heart desires
Remember, I'll always be around
And I know,
I know
Like I told you so many times before
You're gonna come back, baby
'Cause I know
You're gonna
come back knocking
Yeah, knocking right on my door
Yes, yes!
Well, time is on my side
Yes, it is
Time is on my side
Yes, it is
'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
You'll
come running back
(Said, you would, baby)
You'll come running back
(I
always said, you would)
You'll come running back to me
Yes, time, time, time is on my side
Yes, it is
Time,
time, time is on my side
Yes, it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side
Yes, it is
I said,
â€oTime, time, time is on my sideâ€?
Yes, it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side
Yeah, time, time, time
is on my side
