(Randall Lee Anderson)
Sometimes it rains on the weary
Sometimes it rains on the poor
Sometimes it’s all you can do to keep the wolves from your door
There’s so many people going hungry
So many cries go unheard
But one quiet soul somehow feels it and puts it in words
chorus
So God bless the poets, the dreamers, the singers of songs
For all of the stuff they are made of
Cause in a world full of anger and violence and hate
They still believe in love
Sometimes the innocent suffer
Sometimes the good, they die young
And every two seconds in the land of the free, another injustice is done
And every word spoken in anger
Goes around till it hurts everyone
And the only sure way we can stop it is with words of love
chorus
So God bless the poets, the dreamers, the singers of songs
For all of the stuff they are made of
Cause in a world full of anger and violence and hate
They still believe in love
The Place Where Love Comes From
(Rick Cunha)
I’ve been away but I haven’t been standing still
I’ve been running through the meadows, I’ve been walking through the hills
I’ve been washing in the riverbed, I’ve been drying in the sun
And I’ve been looking for the place where love comes from
Now I thought I was alone I thought I was an only child
I was always in trouble I was always running wild
Then I found out that I’m not the only one
To be looking for the place where love comes from
Now love is all around wherever you may be
You can find it in the city, babe
You can feel it in the country
Love is all around and if you want some
Come go with me to the place where love comes from
It was late one night, I was up in the tall green trees
And I thought I was lost, and I thought I was crazy
Then a light came on, as bright as the noonday sun
It was shining on the place where love comes from
Now love is all around wherever you may be
You can find it in the city, babe
You can feel it in the country
Love is all around and if you want some
Come go with me to the place where love comes from
(Randall Lee Anderson)
She dented the car this afternoon but she didn’t tell me ‘til tonight
I clenched my fists and raised my voice and turned it into a fight
Now we cant’ afford a vacation or a big screen color TV
She went to bedroom crying and I felt a little like dying
Then someone woke up and he stumbled up to me
He said Daddy I don’t care if you have a lot of money
I don’t care if you ever do
‘Cause one way or the other it’ll be all right
As long as I’m with you, Daddy, I love you
He put his little arms around my neck and curled up on my knee
My pajama bottomed, bare-
And I thanked the good Lord for the knowing; the best thing in my life is free
I tucked my little man into bed, crying as I kissed his head
I finally woke up when someone spoke up to me
He said Daddy I don’t care if you have a lot of money
I don’t care if you ever do
‘Cause one way or the other it’ll be all right
As long as I’m with you, Daddy, I love you
I told her I was sorry and was such a fool
I’d make it up to her somehow
Nothing really matters without love
A little boy showed me how
When he said Daddy I don’t care if you have a lot of money
I don’t care if you ever do
‘Cause one way or the other it’ll be all right
As long as I’m with you, Daddy, I love you
Daddy, I love you
(Mike Settle)
Don’t be afraid, I ain’t gonna hurt you
But it’s time we were more than just friends
I wouldn’t keep calling if I didn’t care
And I don’t want this to end
So throw away caution, take a few chances
You know that we’re both gonna win
Love is an ocean, ready and warm
Waiting for us to jump in
Chorus
Let’s be lovers tonight, tonight is forever
Tomorrow may never come
And what if it doesn’t, what does it matter
If we go out living on love
Let’s be lovers tonight, don’t’ you eat when you’re hungry
When it’s dark don’t you turn on the light
I know you’ve been hurting, you know you don’t have to
So let’s stop hurting and let’s start loving tonight
Life is for living, so take what I’m giving
Just give up the pain in your heart
It won’t solve your problems, it won’t bring you pleasure
And it’s keeping us apart
So here I am ready, willing and able
And somehow it’s just not enough
You know that it’s out here whenever you want it
But you’ve gotta learn to ask for love
Chorus
Let’s be lovers tonight, tonight is forever
Tomorrow may never come
And what if it doesn’t, what does it matter
If we go out living on love
Let’s be lovers tonight, don’t’ you eat when you’re hungry
When it’s dark don’t you turn on the light
I know you’ve been hurting, you know you don’t have to
So let’s stop hurting and let’s start loving tonight
(Randall Lee Anderson)
You should know after all you’ve done
You’re the only one my heart requires
And of all the simple things I do
Growing old with you is my one desire
I’ll be there for you whenever you call
In no time at all
I don’t care who’s in my way, or what I must pay
I’ll be there for you
And to feel like I did before
I couldn’t want for more with you by my side
And your arms holding me so tight
The rapture of the night lingers in my mind
I’ll be there for you whenever you call
In no time at all
I don’t care who’s in my way, or what I must pay
I’ll be there for you
(Randall Lee Anderson)
She was sitting alone there at the table
Staring at the door and watching the time
A lady shouldn’t have to wait all night
So I tried my best to be polite
And see if I could dance him off her mind
She was a one night dream
And I loved every minute
She was a one night, one night dream
I was trying to make good conversation
She was trying to make it through the night
I didn’t have to say too much
All we had to do was touch
And I could feel her body talk to mine
She was a one night dream
And I loved every minute
She was a one night, one night dream
Underneath the make-
There was a beautiful lady
She looked like an angel in the morning
She kissed my cheek before saying goodbye
She didn’t leave her number
But now and then I wonder
If I ever keep him off her mind
She was a one night dream
And I loved every minute
She was a one night, one night dream
(Randall Lee Anderson)
Wasn’t it something, the life we used to have
The time we had before you said goodbye
So much has passed between us and everything has changed
But my old love for you will never die
I’ve got a new job, got a new place
I’ve a lot of plans to make
I’ve got time on my hands and hurt on my face
‘Cause everything that ‘s new brings me back to missing you
Oooo… I’ve got a new heartache
Remembering the old times when we were so in love
The hands and hearts and dreams and all the rest
But I can’t believe in anything since you
At least my older memories are the best
I’ve got a new job, got a new place
I’ve a lot of plans to make
I’ve got time on my hands and hurt on my face
‘Cause everything that ‘s new brings me back to missing you
Oooo… I’ve got a new heartache
(Randall Lee Anderson)
You brought some joy into my life
You made me warm on a cold winter night
Wherever you are, you’re always living inside me
And all that I do is dream, of a love that will never be
I know that my body will hunger
I’m longing for your company
I know that my memory will never let go
‘Cause all that I do is dream of a love that will never be
You made me feel like more than a man
You gave me freedom to be who I am
There’s no use in wishing, I know it never can be
And all I can do is dream of a love that will never be
I’m a better man for having known you
I still see the light in your eyes
Remembering for me, is my reality
And all that I do is dream, of a love that will never be
All I can do is dream of a love that will never be
(Randall Lee Anderson)
I’ve heard it said that you’ve been lonely
And you’ve been hurt a hundred times
All you gotta do is trust me Baby
Just pucker up and things will work out fine
A little kiss or two
A little kiss is all I want from you
And that’s the truth
A little kiss will doo be doop doo doo
I don’t want to change the way you’re living
You don’t have to give me all your time
I’d never put those chains upon you
I just want to put your lips on mine
I don’t want to force my love upon you
Please don’t think I’m being insincere
I don’t want to mold you or change you all around
I just want one kiss that lasts a hundred years
A little kiss or two
A little kiss is all I want from you
And that’s the truth
A little kiss will doo be doop doo doo
(Randall Lee Anderson)
It’s late in the evening and all the lights are low
Sometimes a part of me still longs to hold you close
What I wouldn’t give just to be alone with you
And making love the way we used to do
If I could turn the hands of time anywhere I wanted to
I’d try to turn them back to you
I still have those letters inside my quiet room
I try not to read them but they seem like part of you
I sing every night all the songs I wrote for you
And all the words have never been so true
If I could turn the hands of time anywhere I wanted to
I’d try to turn them back to you
It took some tears for me to see
But now I think I know
There’s a time for love and a time for letting go
It took some tears for me to see
But now I think I know
There’s a time for love and a time for letting go
