If
(David
Gates)
If a
picture paints a thousand words
then why I can't paint you?
The words will never show the you
I've some to know
If a face could launce a thousand
ships then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
you're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is
running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at
one time I'd be with you
Tommorrow and today, beside you
all the way
If the world should stop revolving
spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you and
when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would
all go out
And you and I would simply fly
away

Baby
I'm-A Want You
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough
to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me
through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin'
beside me
Used to be my life was just
emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never
really knowing why
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin'
beside me
Used to be my life was just
emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me
laugh
And made me cry
You taught me why
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long to find you,
baby
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Everything
I Own
You sheltered me from harm,
kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me, set me
free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love, what
its of, what its of
You never said too much but still
you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know you're
loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day, someone
takes them away
And they don't hear the words you
long to say
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

The
Guitar Man
Who draws the crowd and plays
so loud
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show, you
know
Baby, it's the guitar man
He can make you love, he can make
you cry
He will bring you down, then he'll
get you high
Somethin' keeps him goin', miles
and miles a day
To find another place to play
Night after night who treats you
right
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio, you go listen
To the guitar man
Then he comes to town and you see
his face
And you think you might like to
take his place
Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles
and miles away
Searchin' for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music and
you like to sing along
You want to get the meaning out of
each and ev'ry song
Then you find yourself a message
and some words to call your own
And take them home
And he can make you love, he can
get you high
He will bring you down, then he'll
make, make you cry
Somethin' keeps him movin', but no
one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker
and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the
crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's
just got to find
Another place to play
Anyway - got to play - anyway -
got to play
