Perfect World
Samantha
Cryin' Over You
Wild Places
My Heart Is Achin' For You
I'm To Blame
Barely Hangin' On
Standin' On A Rock
Blue Blue Day
Kermit Vale
Your Lovin'
You Say Goodnight, I'll Say Goodbye



Perfect World
(James Intveld-J. Coinman)

No heartaches no troubled minds
Life was good everything was fine oh baby
When you used to be my girl
You and me livin' in a perfect world

You were so pretty and you dressed so right
We made lovin' every day and night oh baby
When you used to be my girl
You and me livin' in a perfect world

Well I'm sittin' here lookin' at the big ol moon
Starin' out the window of my motel room
Ever since we parted nothins been the same
I'm missin you so bad it's a cryin' shame

You were my heaven I must confess
Those were the days I loved the best oh baby
When you used to be my girl
You and me livin' in a perfect world

Well I never knew lonely till this loneliness
Wakin' every mornin' here without your kiss
Cryin' on my pillow 'til is soakin' wet
Cause you're my little honey that I can't forget

Now I go to places try to have some fun
But it ain't nothin; like the things we done oh baby
When you used to be my girl
You and me livin' in a perfect world

Samantha
(James Intveld - J. Coinman)

When evening comes falling down on days lost forever
The wind sings a lonely song
It's telling me that I'm all alone
And you'll never be mine to hold
Wishing it wasn't so
I can't help myself I'm in love with Sam
Here on the sacred ground where I dream about you
The world turns without a sound
As I wait to see you passing by
Hoping that you'd realize the truth in my eyes
I can't help myself I'm in love with Sam

And though I may never be able to call you my own
I'll go on pretending to tear down these walls that have grown
But still in my heart I cry to be by your side
For loneliness is the defeat I can't hide

I stand on this empty street of heartache and sorrow
The echoes that follow me
Now seem to be just mine alone
It's here that I've always known
I'm a long way from home
I can't help myself I'm in love with Sam

Cryin' Over You
(James Intveld)

Cryin' cry cry over you
My tears keep fallin' I'm still bawlin'
I'm just missin' you
'Cause ever since we parted
I'm deep down broken hearted
And thats why I keep cryin' over you

Every time I think I'm gettin' over you
And feelin' like I'm gonna find me someone new
It hurts me
Every time I try to get you off my mind
I can't stop thinkin' from time to time
I still love you

I can't believe the way you've been treating me
Just bring me down and make me feel so blue
'Cause I remember when you were the sweetest girl
Told me that you loved me and you'd be my world
And thats why I keep cryin' over you

Well it really didn't take me long to figure out
Why you didn't let me come and take you out no more
You've been acting like you never cared for me
You forgot the way I used to hold you in my arm

Baby won't you maybe think it over good
I just don't want to have to face another night alone
"cause once you said you loved me so
Made me happy then you let me go
And thats why I keep cryin' over you

Wild Places
(James Intveld - J. Coinman)

Let me into your wild places, places you never go
I wanna run through your open spaces
The ones that you yet not know
Take my hand and show me where your raging rivers flow
Into your wild places, wild places with you

Never met a woman with a love so true
All I ever wanted is right here in you
But the more I get to know you the deeper that I want to go
Tell me 'bout the dreams that you dream at night
All the little feelings you keep locked up tight
Don't be afraid I wanna face them all with you

Let me into your wild places, places you never go
I wanna run through your open spaces
The ones that you yet not know
Take my hand and show me where your raging rivers flow
Into your wild places, wild places with you

Never thought I'd wanna know the things you hide
Secrets that are living on the other side
From your sacred temples to your jungles of neglect
We all have feelings that nobody can touch
And if it seems I wanna see a little to much
Girl you gotta know with me there's nothing that you have to protect

'Cause theres a strong storm breaking in my heart that's
Aching like a restless yearning wind
I wanna dive in the fires of your deep dark desires
Down to where no mans ever been

Into your wild places, places you never go
Into your open spaces the ones that you yet not know
Take my hand and show me where your raging rivers flow
Into your wild places, wild places with you

My Heart Is Achin' For You
(James Intveld)

My heart is achin' for you, and it can't be controlled
'Cause all I know is I love you, I wanna make you my own
My heart is achin' for you, and its plain to see
That you're the only girl in the whole wide world for me

It's gonna be so nice me lovin' you right
I don't wanna think of anyone else tonight
My heart is achin' for you and its plain to see
That you're the only girl, the only girl for me

It's gonna be so nice me lovin' you right
I don't wanna think of anyone else tonight
My heart is achin' for you and its plain to see
That you're the only girl, the only girl for me
Yeah you're the only girl, the only girl for me

I'm To Blame
(Huey Meaux)

Have you told your new friend about me
I'll bet you never never speak my name
I close my eyes and see you with some stranger
Oh how it hurts me, for I know I'm to blame

Sweet memories of you come back to haunt me
Thats why my life can never be the same
With broken heart I'm sending you best wishes
Oh how it hurts me, for I know I'm to blame

Theres no room for me in this old world without you
In silence now I hang my head in shame
You were once mine and let me tell your stranger
Oh how it hurts me, for I know I'm to blame

Goodbye, so long, my will to live left with you
I must go now, I think I hear my train
With me I'll take my bible and your picture
Oh how it hurts me, for I know I'm to blame

Barely Hangin' On
(James Intveld)

On the day we met, we freely gave away our hearts
And promised that we be as one and never part
But then you changed your mind and left me lonely and so blue
And now I lie awake each night and cry these words to you

Don't wanna hear another sad old song
Don't wanna know about a love gone wrong
I never thought that I'd miss someone
But I'm barely hangin' on
Don't wanna hear another last goodbye
Don't wanna see another romance die
Won't you give love one more try
'Cause I'm barely hangin' on

I try to forget the way things used to be
But I'm still holdin' on and its just misery
When I close my eyes I fell you in my arms again
And though its only make believe, I can't help to pretend

Don't wanna hear another sad old song
Don't wanna know about a love gone wrong
I never thought that I'd miss someone
But I'm barely hangin' on
Don't wanna hear another last goodbye
Don't wanna see another romance die
Won't you give love one more try
'Cause I'm barely hangin' on

Won't you give love one more try
'Cause I'm barely hangin' on

Standin' On A Rock
(Rodney Crowell)

I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't goin' nowhere
I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't gonna move
I got something to live for, got something to prove
I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't gonna move

It's a hard way of livin', when your heart is true
You can see right through me, but I ain't your fool
So don't give me no trouble, don't give me your lines
I'm believin' in something, your money can't buy

I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't goin' nowhere
I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't gonna move
I got something to live for, got something to prove
I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't gonna move

You might be happy flying airplanes
You might be driving fancy cars
Some people always do the right thing
Some people know just who they are

I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't goin' nowhere
I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't gonna move
I got something to live for, got something to prove
I'm standin' on a rock and I ain't gonna move

Blue Blue Day
(Don Gibson)

It's been a blue blue day, I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from it all
My love has been untrue, she's found somebody new
It's been a blue blue day for me

I feel like cryin' dyin', what can I do
I feel like prayin' sayin', I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue blue day, I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from the blues

How can I make believe, that I don't sit and grieve
It's been a blue blue day for me
I can't pretend and say that I don't love her anyway
It's been a blue blue day for me

Kermit Vale
(James Intveld)

It was dark on the night that we made love on the grave of Kermit Vale
The full moon lay on clouds of coal like a prisoner's waiting jail
We ran into the graveyard on a wager and a dare
We both we young and crazy then and very hard to scare
That's the night that we made love on the grave of Kermit Vale

We stepped on every ancient rock and writings carved in stone
We laughed so hard I slipped and fell on a grave that sat alone
I wiped away the dirt that must have covered up the name
It looked to be an older one destroyed by years of rain
But I could see it plain the grave of Kermit Vale

I held my girl with all my might and didn't speak a word
We felt so weak and helpless that our cries were never heard
We laid our naked bodies down upon the jagged stone
She said from this day forward we would never be alone
That's the night that we made love on the grave of Kermit Vale

I looked my loved one in the eyes free from any shame
The passion that we felt that night would never be the same
We were so desperately in love for love had just begun
And so afraid that someday we would lose the other one
That's the night that we made love on the grave of Kermit Vale

And as we rose to leave I read again what we had seen
That Mr. Vale was not a man but a boy of seventeen
And as our full moon disappeared we walked home all the way
And thought about the teenage boy who lay there in the grave
That's the night that we made love on the grave of Kermit Vale

Your Lovin'
(James Intveld - J. Coinman)

Some people got everything, everybody needs something
I'm not askin' for fancy things all I want is your lovin'
Don't give me no diamond rings, just your kissin' and your huggin'
I'm a fool for those simple things all I want is your lovin'

Sittin' here thinkin' what I'd like to say
Everytime I see you passin' by my way
Dreamin' of you lying here next to me
Just to think about it gives me ecstasy
Now I ain't one to ask for much I just need your tender touch
And thats enough thats enough for me

Livin' is so easy just to know you're there
Someone to believe in a reason to care
Even if you tell me you don't want to be mine
I'm gonna love you 'til the end of time
'Cause I ain't one to ask for much I just need your tender touch
And thats enough thats enough for me

You Say Goodnight, I'll Say Goodbye
(James Intveld)

So tonight I'm here to tell you
This time I'm really leavin' you forever
We've been holdin' on so long
Knowing that for us it won't get better
And now I'm thinkin' what to do or what to say
And hope you'll change my mind
But maybe we should face the truth
Of something we can no longer hide

With all our good intentions
Love just couldn't stand the test of time
Still livin' off sweet memories of two young hearts
Yhat Never ages like wine
And now you're lookin' awful scare
'Cause knowin' that it's over seems all wrong
And as I wipe your tears away
I pray that mine won't start until I'm gone

If you'll say goodnight then I'll say goodbye
And if it's alright I'll hold you close just one last time
My heart is breaking here in two
Although I know what we must do
So you say goodnight, I'll say goodbye
And then we must part

And as we stand in silence
I can't help but to think about good times
All the things we shared together
How we laughed but mostly how we cried
There's so much I want to say to you
But I think that I best be on my way
And if you ever think of me
I hope it won't be thoughts of our last day

If you'll say goodnight then I'll say goodbye
And if it's alright I'll hold you close just one last time
My heart is breaking here in two
Although I know what we must do
So you say goodnight, I'll say goodbye
And then we must part
