Well you talked about some fella that you used to like some kind of football star
he was drowning in money in his big old house and driving in his big old car
Well I don't going to the gym so much , I ain't built like a big oak tree
But I just took a look in the mirror girl, and he ain't got nothing on me
he ain't got nothing on me girl, he ain't got nothing on me
I won your heart and every other part, so he ain't got nothing on me.
You talked about a girl that you used to date, pale skin and hair like fire,
she was looking for a boy to care for her, you were looking like a gun for hire
Well Im not delicate or real genteel or sweet as sweet can be
but I just took a look in the mirror boy and she ain't got nothing on me
she ain't got nothing on me boy, she ain't got nothing on me
I won your heart and every other part, so she ain't got nothing on me.
You courted some guys rich with cash no one of them ever came thru
so you got my love and all it brings,
I'm always here for you
I know some girl in Scotland broke your heart in two or three
so I'll fiercely love you gently dear, 'cause she ain't got nothing on me.
they ain't got nothing on me babe, they ain't got nothing on me
I won your heart and every other part, so they ain't got nothing on me.
they ain't got nothing on me babe, they ain't got nothing on me
from the sky above to the deep blue sea,, they ain't got nothing on me.
I won your heart and every other part, so they ain't got nothing on me.

She is precious she is fine
As sweet as South Australian wine
She's beautiful and she's all mine
My lovely Molly Dooker
She's honest as the day long
The tune for a romantic song
I know she'll never do me wrong
my Lovely Molly Dooker
1.
I met her many years ago, in a land that never sees the snow
and right away I had to know the lovely Molly Dooker
I asked her if she come with and and take a stroll down by the sea
The asked her is she'd marry me my lovely Molly Dooker
Says she I barely know your name, I'm wondering just what's you game"
But still, a walk with me she came my lovely Molly Dooker
2. The sun was high in big blue skies and I saw nothing but her eyes
she looked at me with some surprise, my lovely Molly Dooker
Says I 'What's running thru your mind, please tell me if you'd be so kind"
Says she, 'How did you ever find myself Miss Mooly Dooker"?
Says I, "I've travelled all around, but never have I ever found
a rhyme that rings as pure a sound, as your name, Molly Dooker
3. And so when we'd to say goodbye, I felt me heart scream out a sigh,
and brine filled up in her bright eye the lovely Molly Dooker.
I feared we'd never meet again, and wondered if I'd bear the pain
she felt it too she made it plain, the lovely Molly Dooker
'Come back to me' her heart had pled, without you I'm as good as dead
and now our souls are one and wed, I love my Molly Dooker

Fragile
03:49

For whatever you may think of me
Any thoughts you might allow
I am not who I would like to be, I’m just who I am right now
And if I have caused you any pain
If the words I spoke weren’t kind
I confess, repent and take the blame
Let’s just leave it all behind
We are fragile everyone, we all long for something more
Things are said and things are done
And the pieces hit the floor – we are so fragile..
Whatever I did to make it hard on you
More than it ever was for me
It was never my intention to convey indignity
Humble words are not enough I know
But sometimes words’re all that come
And in this empty field of quid pro quo
The last one standing wins no crown
So whatever you may think of me
Any thoughts you might allow
I am not where I would like to be
It’s just where I am right now – that is fragile….so fragile
Fragile.

I've made some big mistakes, and never seemed to learn,
'till the day I met you and then then I saw what I must spurn
your my mirror ,looking back at me
your my mirror and I don't like what I see
I though that I could figure out the way that I should live
but since me met I realize I take more than i give
your my mirror ,looking back at me
your my mirror and I don't like what I see
who know that love could bring such pain, that love could bring such hurt
that love could show up all the faults and show up all the dirt
i still have many questions and answers i don't know
i must address the the things that one look in your eyes can show
your my mirror ,looking back at me
your my mirror and I don't like what I see

Intoxicating you
02:55

I do not know why things have come to pass this way, i guess that love has chosen both it's victims
Cant understand why this should happen to us now, i crave for you like I have an addiction.
But theres something else I need from you, I've got to have have your point of view ,
it makes no sense if I love you to stay her where i am
If loving kisses taste like wine, why don't you come get drunk on mine
I'd really like to spend my time intoxicating you
Ive no idea why we were drawn together now, I guess good timings not on loves agenda.
But this I know you must be mine from this day on, if your heart breaks I'll try to be it's mender
there's something that i need to know, I'd hate to say i told you so
Your heart loves mine but would it follow my heart anywhere?
If loving kisses taste like wine, why don't you come get drunk on mine
I'd really like to spend my time intoxicating you
If loving kisses taste like wine, why don't you come get drunk on mine
I'd really like to spend my time intoxicating you
Now would you like to have a life, where I call you my darling wife
inseparable with a knife, the two of us as one
If loving kisses taste like wine, why don't you come get drunk on mine
I'd really like to spend my time intoxicating you

The days are long and dark my love my heart is sore afraid,
for the words my cruel mouth has formed the thoughts my mind has made
and there is no rest here in my soul for the sins that leave the stain
come sit here by the hearth with me and sooth away my pain.
For the winter will not leave me now the frost has gripped my heart
My hands won't cease from trembling now, no warmth since we're apart
and sleep won't come to bring me rest and peace evades this mind
come sit here by the hearth with me if you would be so kind
as if all the seas ran dry my dear as if the sun burned out
like a world that has no wine my dear, assurance trades with doubt
yet it will not cost us much my love to make the dream come true
come sit here by the hearth with me, no one but me and you.

You Got Mine

It was all so dark in days gone by
Then I saw the sunshine in your eye
No colours then, just shades of grey
Til I met you and they went away
Now even when the sun don’t shine
Ive got your love and you’ve got mine
Even when life aint so fine
Ive got your love and you got mine
Got your love & you got mine
No way to see the road ahead
I felt like I was cold and dead
But then I touched the Hand of Love
And He pickewd me up like a wounded dove
Now even when the sun don’t shine
Ive got your love and you’ve got mine
Even when life aint so fine
Ive got your love and you got mine
Got your love & you got mine
Id found no rest for my tired heart
I knew no place that I could start
You had exactly what Id need
For me to find sweet peace indeed
Now even when the sun don’t shine
Ive got your love and you’ve got mine
Even when life aint so fine
Ive got your love and you got mine
Got your love & you got mine
Even when the sun don’t shine
Ive got your love and you’ve got mine
Even when life aint so fine
Ive got your love and you got mine
Got your love & you’ve got mine

One last nerve

You got kisses that are sweeter than cherry wine
I'm happy that you said you'd be all mine
You got the eyes of an angel and the heart of a saint
everybody thinks your perfect but I know you ain't
'cause you can push my buttons till I say doggone it
I got one nerve left and you just got on it
Well i never met a man who was quite like you
and all my friends know my heart for you is strong and true
and you know that I just love you boy the way you are,
your my baby, your my hero, you're my own rock star
but you just flip my switch 'til I scream doggone it
I got one nerve left and you just got on it
they say loves patient and love is kind
it doesn't keep a record of mistakes
But I can get a little weary from time to time
and I need you just to hit the brakes..
You know I never wanna hurt you and I never wanna lose you
If I lived my life again be sure that I'd still choose you
and you know if trouble comes and it hits the fan
I'd be your loving woman, I'd be your man but
even at my best you can bet upon it
I'll have one never left and you'll get on it..

Well if I could I surely would
Find ways to show you my dear
Just what you mean to this poor heart
That’s crushed with doubt and fear
I’ll pray that you’ll stay close to me
And love me sure and true
And if you’re ever far from me
I’ll run run run to you ooooh
I’ll run run run to you
If I could I surely would
Mend your weary old heart
I’d show you that there’s always hope
A brand new place to start
And you would know our hearts are one
Restored and made brand new
So if you wander far from me
Ill run…
Through many dangers toils and snares
Our journey has bought us this far
With love’s companions hope and faith
And not by our might nor power
And if by chance we fail or fall
At what we’re striving to do
Our heart will always want its own
I’ll run run run to you
And if by chance we fail or fall
At what we strive to do
Our heart will always want it’s own
Ill run run run to you ooo
I’ll run run run to you

How beautiful you are my love
How beautiful you are
Like a vision of an angel from above
You’re like a messenger of sweet and perfect love
And did I mention, your eyes are pure like doves
How beautiful you are…
You’ve always seemed to me to be so wild and free
When Im near to you my fears and troubles flee
Your love is written like a banner over me
How beautiful you are…
How beautiful you are my love
How beautiful you are
Like a vision of an angel from above
You’re like a messenger of sweet and perfect love
And did I mention, your eyes are pure like doves
How beautiful you are
You’re like the sweetest rose, man has ever seen
You’re like a taste of water from the coolest stream
A flower above the thorns, a perfect goodnight dream
How beautiful you are…
solo
Your every breath’s the very reason I draw mine
Your mouth is sweeter than the finest cup of wine
I wont be satisfied until the day you’re mine
How beautiful you are
How beautiful you are my love
How beautiful you are
Like a vision of an angel from above
Like a messenger of sweet and perfect love
And did I mention, your eyes are pure like doves
How beautiful you are

The poets from the dawn of time describe each woe of man
the heights and depths have been explored as best as poets can
But for this loss the bard can find no rhyme to weave or twist
There is no word,There is no word,There is no word for this
Now if a woman lost her man a widow she would be
And if a man should lose his wife a widower is he
But when to you a child is born then robbed of hug and kiss
There is no word,There is no word,There is no word for this
No other pain a soul can own is felt so raw and sore
It is as if your very heart is crushed and broke and tore
And all your friends stand mute while they just watch your stolen bliss
There is no word,There is no word,There is no word for this
So time may help to dull the pain tho it may not seem so now
And the questions may return again the 'why?, the 'if?' the 'how'?
still if a thousand years should pass, yet he will still be missed
There is no word,There is no word,There is no word for this
