BROTHERLY LOVESung by James Dean

1. We share the same last name and the same color eyes.2. And we fought like tigers over that old, red bike.3. “I’m batting first or you can’t use my glove.”4. It wouldn’t take long until push came to shove5. But we looked out for each other brotherly love.

6. You hated girls ‘til I had my first date.7. I brought her home from the movies. 8. You stayed up late.9. Three on a couch watching T.V.11. I was smiling at her while you were laughing at me.12. I won’t trade it for nothing brotherly love.

13. There’s a bond that brothers know 14. And it gets stronger as they grow.15. The love, the time and miles can’t come between.16. We disagree, but in the end 17. There will never be too close a friend18. And brotherly love is something we all need.

19. They share the same last name and the same color eyes.20. And they fought like tigers over that old, red bike.21. Looking at them reminds me of us22. They’re gonna fight and they’re gonna fuss.23. They’ve got something special. It’s brotherly love.

23. Yes, we’ve got something special. It’s brotherly love.

BUTTERFLY KISSESBy Bob Carlisle

1. There’s two things I know for sure.2. She was sent here from heaven, and she’s Daddy’s little girl.3. As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,4. She talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.5. And I thank God for all of the joy in my life. Oh, but most of all, for …

6. Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.7. Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.8. “Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it’s my first ride.”9. “I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried.”10. Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.11. To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

12. Sweet sixteen today, she’s looking like her momma13. A little more every day. One part woman, the other part girl.14. To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.15. Trying her wings out in a great big world. But I remember….

16. Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.17. Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.18. “You know how much I love you, Daddy, but if you don’t mind,19. I’m only going to kiss you on the cheek this time.”20. Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.21. To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

22. All the precious time like the wind, the years go by.23. Precious butterfly spread your wings and fly24. She’ll change her name today. She’ll make a promise 25. And I’ll give her away. Standing in the bride room just staring at her,26. She asked me what I’m thinking, and I said “I’m not sure, 27. I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl.”28. She leaned over… and gave me…29. Butter Kisses, with her mama there30. Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.31. “Walk me down the aisle, Daddy, it’s just about time.”32. “Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy?” “Daddy, don’t cry.”33. Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.34. To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses.35. I couldn’t ask God for more. Man, this is what love is.36. I know I’ve gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember37. Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses.

CAT’S IN THE CRADLEBy Harry Chapin

1. A child arrived just the other day.2. He came to the world in the usual way.3. But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.4. He learned to walk while I was away.5. And he was talking before I knew it,6. And as he grew he'd say, "I'm going to be like you, Dad. 7. You know I'm going to be like you."

Chorus And cat's in the cradle and a silver spoon.

Little boy blue and the man on the moon.When ya’ coming home, Dad? (Son)

I don't know when, but we'll get together then Son. (Dad) You know we'll have a good time then.

8. Son turned ten, just the other day.9. He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on let's play.10. Can you teach me to throw?"11. I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do." 12. He said, "That's okay!" And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed13. And said, "I'm going to be like him, yeah. You know I'm going 14. to be just like him." CHORUS

15. Well, he came from college just the other day.16. So much like a man I just had to say,17. "Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for awhile?"18. He shook his head and said with a smile,19. " What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.20. See you later. Can I have them please?" CHORUS

21. I've long since retired. My son's moved away.22. I called him up just the other day.23. I said, "I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."24. He said, "I'd love to Dad, if I can find the time."25. "You see my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu.26. But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad. It's been sure nice talking to you."

27. And as he hung up the phone it occurred to me. 28. He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me. CHORUS

YOU DON’T COUNT THE COSTBy Bucky Jones, Tom Shapiro, Chris Waters

Sung by James Dean

1. It happens to a mother, when she is giving birth.2. Her heart is filled with joy, 3. While her body’s filled with hurt.4. She holds the baby close to her, 5. Despite the pain he’s caused.6. When it comes to love, you don’t count the cost.

7. It happens to a soldier fighting for his home.8. Fear wells up inside him, and yet he still goes on.9. Even though he knows, he may be the next to fall.10. When it comes to love, you don’t count the cost.

CHORUS11. You don’t count the heartache. 12. You don’t count the sacrifice.13. And all that counts is what you feel inside.14. It doesn’t really matter what is gained or what is lost.15. When it comes to love, oh, you don’t count the cost.

16. It happens all around us each and every day.17. Someone’s giving all they’ve got 18. For someone else’s sake.19. If you ever doubt it, just think about the cross.20. When it comes to love, you don’t count the cost.

GROWN UP CHRISTMAS WISHBy

David Foster and Linda Thompson Jenner

1. Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee.2. I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.3. Well, I’m all grown-up now and still need help somehow,4. I’m not a child, but my heart still can dream.5. So here’s my lifelong wish,6. My grown-up Christmas wish7. Not for myself, but for a world in need.

CHORUS8. No more lives torn apart. That wars would never start9. And time would heal all hearts. 10. And everyone would have a friend and right 11. Would always win and love would never end.12. This is my grown-up Christmas list

13. As children we believed the grandest sight to see 14. Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree?15. Well heaven surely knows that packages and bows 16. Can never heal a hurting human soul. CHORUS

17. What is this illusion called the innocence of youth, 18. Maybe only in our blind belief 19. Can we ever find the truth.

CHORUS10. You know that old trees just grow stronger.11. And old rivers grow wilder every day.12. But old people, they just grow lonesome.13. Waiting for someone to say, 14. "Hello in there. Hello."

15. Me and my husband, we don't talk much anymore.16. He sits and stares through the back door screen.17. And all the news just repeats itself,18. Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.19. Some days I'll go and call up Judy.20. We worked together at the factory.21. Ah, but what would I say when she asks, 22. "What's new?" Say, "Nothing. What's with you?" 23. Nothing much to do. CHORUS

24. So if you're walking down the street sometime.25. And you should spot some hollow ancient eyes.26. Don't you pass them by and stare,

As if you didn't care.Say, "Hello in there. Hello."

HOMEWARD BOUNDBy Paul Simon

Sung by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel

1. I’m sitting in the railway station 2. Got a ticket for my destination3. On a tour of one-night stands 4. My suitcase and guitar in hand5. And ev’ry stop is neatly planned 6. For a poet and a one-man band7. Homeward bound. I wish I was. Homeward bound.8. Home, where my thoughts are escaping.9. Home, where my music’s playing.

10. Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.

11. Ev’ry day’s an endless stream 12. Of cigarettes and magazines.13. And each town looks the same to me 14. The movies and the factories15. And ev’ry stranger’s face 16. I see reminds me that I long to be 17. Homeward bound. I wish I was. Homeward bound.18. Home, where my thoughts are escaping.19. Home, where my music’s playing.20. Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.

21. Tonight I’ll sing my songs again. 22. I’ll play the game and pretend.23. But all my words come back to 24. Me in shades of mediocrity.25. Like emptiness in harmony 26. I need someone to comfort me.27. Homeward bound. I wish I was. Homeward bound. 28. Home, where my thoughts are escaping29. Home, where my music’s playing. 30. Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.

HONESTYBy Billy Joel

1. If you search for tenderness, it isn’t hard to find.2. You can have the love you need to live.3. But if you look for truthfulness,4. You might just as well be blind.5. It always seems to be so hard to give.

CHORUS5. Honesty is such a lonely word.6. Everyone is so untrue.7. Honesty is hardly ever heard.8. And mostly what I need from you.

8. I can always find someone to say they sympathize,9. If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.10. But I don’t want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies.11. All I want is someone to believe. CHORUS

12. I can find a lover; I can find a friend;13. I can have security until the bitter end.14. Anyone can comfort me with promises again.15. I know, I know.16. Way down deep inside of me, don’t be too concerned.17. I won’t ask for nothin’ while I’m gone.18. When I want sincerity, tell me where else can I turn?19. ‘Cause you’re the one that I depend upon. CHORUS

NOT THAT DIFFERENT AT ALLBy Karen Taylor-Good and Joie Scott

Sung by Collin Raye

1. She said we’re much too different 2. We’re from two separate worlds.3. And he admitted she was partly right.4. But in his heart’s defense 5. He told her what they had in common6. Was strong enough to bond them for life.7. He said look behind your own soul 8. And the person that you’ll see9. Just might remind you of me.

CHORUS10. I laugh. I love. I hope. I try.11. I hurt. I need. I fear. I cry.12. And I know you do the same things too.13. So we’re really not that different, me and you.

14. Now she cold hardly argue 15. With his pure and simple logic.16. But logic never could convince a heart.17. She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic.18. And he just didn’t seem to fit the part.19. So she searched for greener pastures20. But never could forget21. What he whispered when she left. CHORUS

17. Was it time? Or was it truth?18. Maybe both led her back to his door.19. As her tears fell at his feet,20. She didn’t say “I love you” 21. What she said meant ever more:CHORUS

Not the end of my world walking out the door.23. I wish that I could dream again24. Believing it’s only the wind.

THE GREATEST MAN I NEVER KNEWBy Reba McKintaire

1. The greatest man I never knew lived just down the hall.2. And every day we said hello, 3. But never touched at all.4. He was in his paper. I was in my room.5. How was I to know he thought I hung the moon?

6. The greatest man I never knew 7. Came home late every night.8. He never had too much to say, 9. Too much was on his mind.10. I never really knew him. Oh, now it seems so sad.11. Everything he gave to us took all he had.

12. Then the days turned into years. 13. And the memories to black and white.14. He grew cold like an old winter wind 15. Blowing across my life.16. The greatest words I never heard.17. I guess I’ll never hear.

18. The man I thought could never die, 19. Has been dead almost a year.20. He was good at business, 21. But there was business left to do.22. He never said he loves me. Guess he thought I knew.

1. Some say love it is a river2. That drowns the tender reed.3. Some say love it is a razor4. That leaves your soul to bleed.5. Some say love it is a hunger,6. An endless aching need.7. I say love it is a flower8. And you its only seed.

9. It's the heart afraid of breaking10. That never learns to dance.11. It's the dream afraid of waking12. That never takes the chance.13. Its' the one who won't be taken14. Who cannot seem to give.15. And the soul afraid of dying16. That never learns to live.

17. When the night has been too lonely18. And the road has been too long.19. And you think that love is only20. For the lucky and the strong.21. Just remember in the winter22. Far beneath the bitter snow,23. Lies the seed that with the sun's love 24. In the spring becomes the rose.

UNANSWERED PRAYERBy

Pat Alger, Larry B. Bastain, and Garth BrooksSung by Garth Brooks

1. Just the other night at a hometown football game2. My wife and I ran into my old high school flame.3. And as I introduced them, the past came back to me.4. And I couldn’t help but think of the way things used to be.5. She was the one that I ‘d wanted for all times.6. And each night I’d spend praying 7. That God would make her mine.8. And if He’d only grant me this wish I’d wished back then.9. I’d never ask for anything again.

10. Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.11. Remember when you’re talking to the Man upstairs12. That just because He doesn’t answer 13. Doesn’t mean he don’t care.14. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

15. She wasn’t quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams.16. And I could tell the time had changed me 17. In her eyes too it seemed.18. We tried to talk about the old days wasn’t much we could recall.19. I guess the Lord knows what He’s doing after all.20. And as she walked away well I looked at my wife21. Then and there I thanked the good Lord for the gifts in my life.

22. Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.23. Remember when you’re talking to the Man upstairs24. That just because He may not answer 25. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.26. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered.27. Some of God’s greatest gifts are all to often unanswered.28. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALLBy Don Schlitz and Paul Overstreet

Sung by Ronan Keating

1. It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart.2. Without saying a word, you can light up the dark.3. Try as I may I can never explain 4. What I hear when you don’t say a thing.

CHORUS5. The smile on your face lets me know that you need me6. There’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me.7. The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me 8. Wherever I fall.9. You say it best, when you say nothing at all.

10. All day long I can hear people talking outloud.11. But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd.12. Try as they may they can never define 13. What’s being said between your heart and mine. CHORUS

WIND BENEATH MY WINGSSung by Bette Midler

1. It must have been cold there in my shadow2. To never have sunlight on your face.3. You were content to let me shine, that’s your way.4. You always walked a step behind.5. So I was the one with all the glory.6. While you were the one with all the strength.7. A beautiful face without a name for so long.8. A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

9. Did you ever know that you’re my hero?10. And everything I would like to be.11. And I can fly higher than an eagle,12. ‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

13. It might have appeared to go unnoticed.14. But I’ve got it all here in my heart.15. I want you to know, I know the truth, of course, I know it.16. I would be nothing without you.

17. Did you ever know that you’re my hero?18. You’re everything I wish I could be.19. I could fly higher than an eagle,20. For you are the wind beneath my wings.
