1. Islands In The Stream

   Letra

   Baby, when I met you There was peace unknown I set out to get you With a fine tooth comb I was soft inside There was something going on You do something to me That I can't explain Hold me closer and I feel no pain Every beat of my heart We got something going on Tender love is blind It requires a dedication All this love we feel Needs no conversation We ride it together, ah-ha Making love with each other, ah-ha Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ha From one lover to another, ah-ha I can't live without you If the love was gone Everything is nothing If you got no one And you just walk in the night Slowly losing sight of the real thing But that won't happen to us And we got no doubt Too deep in love and we got no way out And the message is clear This could be the year for the real thing No more will you cry Baby, I will hurt you never We start and end as one In love forever We can ride it together, ah-ha Making love with each other, ah-ha Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ha From one lover to another, ah-ha Sail away [Instrumental Interlude] Ooooh, come sail away with me Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ha From one lover to another, ah-ha Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ha From one lover to another, ah-ha Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between

3. Daytime Friends

   Letra

   And he'll tell her he's working late again But she knows too well there's something going on She's been neglected and she needs a friend So her trembling fingers dial the telephone And Lord it hurts her, doing this again He's the best friend that her husband ever knew When she's lonely, he's more than just a friend He's the one she longs to give her body to Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do In their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day And when it's over, there's no peace of mind Just a longing for the way things should have been And she wonders why some men never find That a woman needs a lover and a friend Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

5. She Believes In Me

   Letra

   While she lays sleeping I stay out late at night and play my songs And sometimes all the nights can be so long And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone While she lays dreaming I try to get undressed without the light And quietly she says how was your night And I come to her and say It was all right, and I hold her tight And she believes in me I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me And so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night If my song is right I can find a way While she lays waiting I stumble to the kitchen for a bite And I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend And there's no end while she lays crying I fumble with a melody or two And I'm torn between the things that I should do And she says to wake her up when I am through God her love is true And she believes in me I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me And so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night If my song is right I can find a way While she waits While she waits For me

   Letra

   You can run You can hide Never let it inside Keep livin' your life in the dark But sooner or later that gentle persuader Is gonna catch up with your heart Make you a dreamer, believer Believin' in love Right when a man's doin' all that he planned And he thinks he's got just what he needs Life will deliver a shock that will shiver him Drivin' him down to his knees Make him start givin', livin' Livin' again Well it's your mind That tricks you into leavin' every time Love will turn you around Turn you around Well, it's your heart That talks you into stayin' where you are Love will turn you around Turn you around Out of the blue she reaches for you And you tell her you don't have the time So you move away fast But you know it won't last 'Cause you can't get her off of your mind Thoughts are burnin', turnin' They're turnin' around How do you know when to stay or to go And how do you know when it's real You don't need a sign to make up your mind You got your heart at the wheel You wanna start sharin', carin' Carin' again Well it's your mind That tricks you into leavin' every time Love will turn you around Turn you around Well, it's your heart That talks you into stayin' where you are Love will turn you around Turn you around Love will turn you around Turn you around Love will turn you around Turn you around Turn you around

11. The Greatest

    Letra

    Little boy in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and bat Says, "I am the greatest player of them all" Puts his bat in his shoulder and he tosses up his ball. And the ball goes up and the ball comes down, Swings his bat all the way around The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground. Now the little boy doesn't say a word, picks up his ball he is undeterred. Says, "I am the greatest that there has ever been" And he grits his teeth and he tries again. And the ball goes up and the ball comes down, Swings his bat all the way around The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground. He makes no excuses he shows no fear He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers. Little boy he adjusts his hat, picks up his ball, stares at his bat Says "I am the greatest when the game is on the line" And he gives his all one last time. And the ball goes up and the moon so bright Swings his bat with all his might The world's as still as still can be, the baseball falls And that's strike three. Now it's suppertime and his momma calls, Little boy starts home with his bat and ball. Says, "I am the greatest, that is a fact, But even I didn't know I could pitch like that!" Says, "I am the greatest, that is understood, But even I didn't know I could pitch that good!"

    I can't remember when you weren't there When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years I've never been afraid I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I stayed Right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted, who I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more Through the years Through all the good and bad I know how much we had I've always been so glad To be with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years Through the years When everything went wrong Together we were strong I know that I belong Right here with you Through the years I never had a doubt We'd always work things out I've learned what life's about By loving you Through the years Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years

17. Lucille

    Letra

    In a bar in Toledo Across from the depot On a bar stool she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer So I walked on over I sat down and asked her name When the drinks finally hit her She said I'm no quitter But I finally quit livin' on dreams I'm hungry for laughter And here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings In the mirror I saw him And I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman Who sat there beside me He had a strange look on his face The big hands were calloused He looked like a mountain For a minute I thought I was dead But he started shakin' His big heart was breakin' He turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With four hungry children And a crop in the field I've had some bad times Lived through some sad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd made him look small From the lights of the bar room To a rented hotel room We walked without talkin' at all She was a beauty But when she came to me She must have thought I'd lost my mind I could'nt hold her 'Cos the words that he told her Kept coming back time after time You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With four hungry children And a crop in the field I've had some bad times Lived through some sad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

21. Coward Of The County

    Letra

    Everyone considered him The coward of the county. He'd never stood one single time To prove the county wrong. His mama named him Tommy, But folks just called him Yellow. Something always told me They were reading Tommy wrong. He was only ten years old When his daddy died in prison. I looked after Tommy 'Cause he was my brother's son. I still recall the final words My brother said to Tommy, "Son, my life is over, But yours has just begun. Promise me, son, Not to do the things I've done. Walk away from trouble if you can. It won't mean you're weak If you turn the other cheek. I hope you're old enough to understand: Son, you don't have to fight to be a man." There's someone for everyone, And Tommy's love was Becky. In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man. One day while he was working The Gatlin boys came calling. They took turns at Becky. There was three of them. Tommy opened up the door And saw his Becky crying. The torn dress, the shattered look Was more than he could stand. He reached above the fireplace And took down his daddy's picture. As his tears fell on his daddy's face He heard these words again, "Promise me, son, Not to do the things I've done. Walk away from trouble if you can. Now it won't mean you're weak If you turn the other cheek. I hope you're old enough to understand: Son, you don't have to fight to be a man." The Gatlin boys just laughed at him When he walked into the bar room. One of them got up And met him half way 'cross the floor. When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey, look, old Yellow's leaving." But you could've heard a pin drop When Tommy stopped and locked the door. Twenty years of crawling Was bottled up inside him. He wasn't holding nothing back, He let 'em have it all. When Tommy left the bar room Not a Gatlin boy was standing. He said, "This one's for Becky," As he watched the last one fall. N' I heard him say, "I promised you, Dad, Not to do the things you've done. I walk away from trouble when I can. Now please don't think I'm weak. I didn't turn the other cheek. And, Papa, I sure hope you understand: Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man." Everyone considered him The coward of the county.

    Letra

    Girl, there are no words to say What I feel in my heart You, you're on my mind night and day And it hurts me when we're apart When you're not here by my side There is nothing in this world for me. I guess I'm crazy Crazy for you can't you see Although you may think it's crazy Here it's where I want to be I will always need your love. Well now, I can see every dream When I look in your eyes And though, things never are what they seem There is one thing that I realize That there's no doubt in my mind We can make this love go on forever. I guess I'm crazy Crazy for you can't you see Although you may think it's crazy Here it's where I'll always be And I need you with me Cos you are the dream That finally came true in me In all my life there'll be no one else If I looked all my life There could be no one else And for the rest of my life All I need is you.

27. The Gambler

    Letra

    On a warm summer's evening On a train bound for nowhere I met up with a gambler We were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a-starin' Out the window at the darkness The boredom overtook us And he began to speak He said, "Son, I've made a life Out of readin' people's faces And knowin' what the cards were By the way they held their eyes. So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice." So I handed him my bottle And he drank down my last swallow Then he bummed a cigarette And asked me for a light And the night got deathly quiet And his face lost all expression Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, You gotta learn to play it right. You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, And know when to run. You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealing's done. Every gambler knows That the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away And knowin' what to keep. 'Cause every hand's a winner, And every hand's a loser, And the best that you can hope for Is to die in your sleep." And when he finished speakin' He turned back toward the window Crushed out his cigarette And faded off to sleep And somewhere in the darkness The gambler he broke even And in his final words I found an ace that I could keep You got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealing's done You've got to know when to hold 'em (When to hold 'em) Know when to fold 'em (When to fold 'em) Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealing's done You got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealing's done

29. You Decorated My Life

    Letra

    All my life was a paper Once plain, pure and white Till you moved with your pen Changing moods now and then Till the balance was right Then you added some music Every note was in place And anybody could see All the changes in me By the look on my face And you decorated my life Created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life By painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life Like a rhyme with no reason And an unfinished song There was no harmony Life meant nothing to me Until you came along And you brought out the colors What a gentle surprise Now I'm able to see All the things life can be Shining soft in your eyes And you decorated my life Created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life By painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life
