Love Is Alive
Words and Music by Kent Robbins
Love ain't a candle
It doesn't burn for one night
And need the dark to shine
Love is alive
And love ain't just a word
In every dictionary
With no where defined
Love is a man and he's mine
(Chorus)
Love is alive
And at our breakfast table
Everyday of the week
Love is alive
And it grows everyday and night
Even in our sleep
Love is alive
And it's made a happy woman out of me
Oh, love is alive
And here by me
Love ain't just a mood
A distant far away dream
That needs the night to rise
Love is alive
And love ain't just a song
Sweet words of music
To go dancin' by
Love is a man and he's mine
(Repeat Chorus)
Love is alive, here by me
(Repeat and fade) -

Isn't He A Strange One
Words and Music by Kent Robbins
I want to tell 'bout my lover
And I want to tell you 'bout my best friend
Compared to all the others
He's a little bit different
A friend saw him on the town
Said he was turnin' all the pretty girls down
She said, "You really should be proud of him."
(Chorus)
Isn't he a strange one?
He thinks comin' on to me is a whole lot of fun
He doesn't want anybody else but me
Isn't he a strange one?
He thinks I hung the moon
He's pretty sure I was the one
And I'm glad he'll never be
A stranger to me
I know he's one in a million
When he says I'm the one that he's dreamin' of
I hope he doesn't wake up anytime soon
From this honeymoon
My girlfriends are turnin' green with envy
They wanna know are there anymore at home like him
Cupid must be really watchin' over me
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah, I' m glad he'll never be
A stranger to me
Isn't he a strange one?
Isn't he a strange one? -

Sleepless Nights
Words and Music by B. Bryant and F. Bryant
Through these sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who
Is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Somehow through the days
I don't give in
I hide the tears
That wait within
Oh, but, then through sleepless nights
I cry again
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know?
Don't you know
I need you?
I keep hoping you'll
Come back to me
Oh, let it be
Please let it be
Oh, my love, please end
These sleepless nights for me
My love, please end these sleepless nights for me -

Water Of Love
Words and Music by M. Knopfler
High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me, sky up above
Yes, I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Cryin' out for some soothing rain
I believe I've taken enough
Yes, I need a little water of love
(Chorus)
Water of love, deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Someday, baby, when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me
Once I had a man I could call my own
Once I had a man, now my man is gone
Once there was a river, now there's a stone
You know it's evil when you're living alone
(Repeat Chorus) -

Have Mercy
Words and Music by Paul Kennerly
Well, I was standing in line at the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin from ev'ry rain drop
I see you driving by just like a phantom jet
With your arm around some little brunette
You say you won't be home because you're working late
Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date
The lipstick on your collar gives your game away
It's strawberry red and mine's pink rose
(Chorus)
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby have mercy on me
Well, I called you up on the telephone
I could hear you was playin' Haggard and Jones
I knew right then that there was something wrong
There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs
(Repeat Chorus)
Well, I went to the bank with my little check book
The cashier, he gave me the strangest look
He said, "You ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn
Your man took it all and he's done gone!"
(Repeat Chorus) -

Cry Myself To Sleep
Words and Music by Paul Kennerley
I've tried so hard
You know I can't do more
It's the turn of the card
It's the close of the door
The lies you told
You know they hurt so deep
So I'll go home
And cry myself to sleep
Day after day
You've been treating me bad
Friends come up and say,
"Why do you take all that?"
'Cause it's making me moan
And it's making me weep
So I'll go home And cry myself to sleep
You play at love
Like a child plays games
One day I'm in
Then I'm out again
You change the rules
And I just can't win
You've broken me now
So I give in, yeah, yeah
I've been through worse
But I don't know what
Oh, I gave to you
Everything I got
So take this heart
Or what's left to keep
And I'll go home
And cry myself to sleep -

I Wish She Wouldn't Treat You That Way
Words and Music by Kevin Welch and Walker Igleheart
The way she treats you is a dog-gone crime
I just get blue about it all the time
Drives me crazy how she walks that line
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way, baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
I ain't sayin' that she's bad to you
She does every little thing a lover should do
Any fool could see that her love is true
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way, baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
She ain't the only one who loves you dear
She ain't the only one who needs you near
How am I ever goin' to have my day
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way, baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
See you walkin' with her hand in hand
By the look on your face you're a happy man
She's ruinin' all of my best laid plans
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way, baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way
She ain't the only one who loves you dear
She ain't the only one who needs you near
How am I ever goin' to have my day
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way, baby
I wish she wouldn't treat you that way -

Tears For You
Words and Music by Mickey Jupp
Heartaches
You know my heart aches
Everytime I think of you
Lonesome
I'm on my own some
Yes, I could loan some
Tears for you
Daybreak
Another day break
And I wonder
How I got through
You know sleepin'
I'm only sleepin'
In between my weepin'
Tears for you
You know that one night
One night can be such a long night
At midnight
I know all the stars by name
But it's alright
I'll get myself together
Nothin' lasts forever
I'll just play another game
Because mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes
Can one kiss make
Dreams come true
Nice try
I'll just say goodbye
Let someone else cry
Tears for you
Tears for you
Tears for you
Tears for you
Tears for you
