Chorus
Strange girl in the night I want you to take me home,
You'd be a real fine girl if you'd wake me up
With kisses, in the morning light.

I've been lookin' for my true blue blonde headed queen,
With hazel eyes that never see anyone but me, (omitted)
Well I've seen her once maybe twice,
But I couldn't seem to break that ice,
Cause she looked so good and she smelled so sweet,
Lord she knocked me right off my feet.

Chorus

Well you looked so fine while you played pinball,
Right before my very eyes,
I tried not to stare but I couldn't help myself,
I might never see you again,
Cause the city's big and it'll bring the blues,
If you don't act fast your bound to lose,
The girl of your dreams as she walks through the door,
Looking for a lover, and nothing more.

Chorus

Gentle are her kisses,
Embracing the morning light,
Gentle are her kisses,
Embracing the morning light.

Chorus
It's all seen from the eyes of a child,
Don't you remember when your thought were wild,
It's all comes from the heart of a child,
It's comes from inside of us,
It's the truth in our lives.

Restless is her passion,
Until the day has begun,
Restless is her passion,
Until the day has begun.

Chorus

Stand tall and reckon,
Life's chores must be done,
Stand tall and reckon,
Life's chores must be done.

Chorus
It's the truth in our lives,
It's the truth in our lives,
It's the truth in our lives.

It's that good good feelin',
When I wake up in the morning,
It's your lovin' at the break of day,
It brings joy to my ears when I hear you sing,
Your Lovin' Comes Easy.

Chorus
It's your lovin', it comes easy,
It's your lovin', it comes easy,
It's your lovin', it comes easy,
It comes easy to me.

Well, I'll love you for the million years,
Baby, I can't get close enough,
To feel all your passion each night and day,
I'll spend an eternity singing out...

Chorus
Bridge: Latent treasures,
Each day filled with your love,
Latent treasures,
It's heaven sent from above

Sunrise sunset it doesn't matter to me,
If it's winter spring summer or fall,
Cause when I wake up in the morning,
And my hearts on fire,
Girl I just gotta say...

A tear falls from the mothers eyes,
I hear her lonely sighs,
I hear her call out her baby's name,
Such a lonesome sound.

She's gone half crazy searching through the night,
Don't think her baby just slipped into the night,
Lost & alone what will happen at dawn,
When she finds her baby's gone.

I was a clear, hot, sunny day in May,
Kids were on the porch, playing the same as everyday,
The mother still hears the children's laughter,
All day long, how they could play.

A cool black truck paid a visit that day,
Like it did almost everyday,
To entertain, yes entertain & steal,
On a hot sunny day in May,
A stranger took her baby away.

A stranger took his prize in just two minutes flat.
The sheriff said, "It looked like a pedophile attack".
God only knows what's happened to that child,
The angels gather around and they sing, cryin' in the wind,
Solo like first verse and chorus.....

It's been 3 days now and she won't come off the porch,
She sits in her rocker, rollin' back and forth,
No one can help her now,
She's living in pure misery.

So say a pray for her when you lay down tonight,
Say a pray for her help her make it through the night.

A stranger took his prize in two minutes flat.
The sheriff said, "It looked like a pedophile attack".
God only knows what's happened to that child,
Now the mother only hears cries in the wind

She hears the angel's cries,
They're cryin' in the wind,

She hears the angel's cries,
They're cryin' in the wind,

She hears the angel's cries,
They're cryin' in the wind,

If I could keep her waiting,
In the wings you know I would,
A Lover's stash full of wealth
A Fallin' angel left on the shelf,

Fallin' Angel don't cry,
Fallin' Angel don't look back,
Fallin' Angel you bring a tear to my eye,
Fallin' Angel never asks why?

Who could hand down a little love,
or Hand down pain,
Hand down a little love
I love it when you call my name

So where oh where are you gonna be tonight now baby,
So where oh where are you gonna be tonight now baby?

Ah don't take so badly baby
We both know the score
We have to tell secrets baby
You know sometimes its like war.

If I could keep her waiting..........

I'm going to hold on to you tonight,
I won't let go, no not tonight,
I need this feeling, it feels so right,
Like a child's kiss so sweet hearts pulsing so deep.

Chorus
Sisters cry, brothers kneel,
Mothers beg & fathers steal,
The carousel turns just one more time,
For horses riding in a forgotten time.

When you feel that fire setting your soul to flames,
Call out to your to your lover speak not her name,
And remember that passion prays on innocent hearts,
Remember that love is just the spark.

Chorus

The ghost of past lovers can haunt a cold lonely heart,
Which seeks to love, which longs to walk,
With ardent emotions driven by the spirit of love,
Calming the conflict letting the soul soar like a dove.

Chorus

Looking over the shoulder, of an old flame passing by,
The color of your eyes, Lights up the midnight sky.
I could sense that your thoughts, we're linked with mine,
Racing on in to my mind, racing into my mind.

As I looked back at you, I noticed a handsome man by your side,
Happy, strong and tall, I could tell he loved you so.
I could sense the air he breathed was only just for you,
Yes, I understand his feelings, cause now I feel them too.

But there's no reason to turn away,
And end the search for true love,
There's never been an answer.
When the question involves passion & love,
And some say there's no gettin' over true love,
Yes sometimes it's better to not let love get in the way,
Sometimes its better to just walk away.

When a true hearts walks away from love,
Sometimes there's nothing left to say,
When fate's furry finally explodes,
Two lovers glances entice romance,
And some say there's no reason to walk away,
Sometimes its better to not push away,
Sometimes it feels good to stay.

After all this time alone, I never thought your would pass me by,
But you're happy, strong, and alive,
I can tell he loves you so,
I can sense the air he breathes is only just for you,
Yes I understand his feelings,
I once shared them with you,
Yes I understand these feelings, I still feel them too.

Chorus.........
I'll take the hick, if you'll take the hunk,
We both know its not about true love,
Cause the longer we sit here and drink this beer,
The faster the hick starts to appear,
Like the hunk he never was,
Yes its that big beer belly and that obnoxious grim,
You know its really starting to turn us on,
So let's take a chance not on true,
Yes lets take a chance, let's make romance,
Cause we're too drunk to not get lucky tonight.

Now the manly folk they treat us kind,
And its not very often that we get out of line,
And do tequila shots until closin' time,
But when we down now watch boys,
We a double shot, we're estrogen toys,
If only our mama's could see us now,
What we learnt from her was every trick in the book,
How to be sexy and how not to look,
Like we're ever interested in sex,
How to smile like an angel and dress like a hante,
Cuss like sailor and pray like saint,
Yes our mamas' have taught us well.

Chorus......So....

Well it was just another Sat. Night,
Me and my girlfriend were feelin' right,
Checkin' out cowboys in their tight blue jeans,
When in walked a stub with his blue eyes on fire,
My girlfriends kept nudging me in the side,
He was the prettiest man we'd ever seen,
He was dressed real nice in his tight blue jeans,
And we both blushed when he looked at us,
We thought one of us might just stand a chance,
Cause after he smiled and we waived back,
Naturally he'd have to choose one of us,
But it was us he was smilin' at.

It was his big hick country bumpkin friend,
Standin' in the back by the lady's room,
We already noticed he'd been givin' us the eye,
So looked my girl friend straight in the eyes and said,
"Honey I flip you for the hunk,
Tales I win and heads and that ugly hick is yours,
Well she said, "That ain't fair I saw him first,
And there's only one thing that could be worse,
It'd be sleepin' with that hick's poor old broken down horse."
Well we sat there fussin' for an hour or more
When up stumbled up that ugly hick, Smilin' with his silly grin,
"Which one of you girls needs a real man tonight?",
He asked us politely trying not to shout,
We both turned and looked him straight in the eyes,
That's when we noticed to our surprise,
The hunk, he was smiling back at us.

So Chorus.........

In the desert blows a hot angry Western wind,
Its calling, howling, singing out my lover's name,
And as I look out in, to the distance, how far can I see,
Into my dreams holdin' on to that woman who is by my side.

Chorus -
Everything that love knows,
Everything that love has shone,
It keeps me waiting, holding on,
Though it makes me weary, I can't let go

Now how far, can I travel, from, this angry heart,
And when I do, can I dream, of an angel standing over me,
She'll be my dream walkin' saving her prays, just for me,
She'll hold my heart and protect me from,
Those, who would deceive me.

Chorus --

Sweetly calls, she calls out my name,
She gives me gentle kisses easing all of the pain,
Out here on the lonesome trail her memory never fades,
Her love is branded on my heart,
Tattooed to never fade..... Tattooed to never fade.....

Anytime that I'm alone your spirit wakes to warm my soul,
Your strength makes my love flow driving off my evil foes,
Away from my yearning heart sacrificing purest thoughts,
And with your help I see the light you lift me up to seek greater heights.

Chorus

I've said to you a thousand times,
How much I care you stay on my mind,
Through the day and the night,
You are my world,
Through the day and the night,
You Are My Pearl.

Don't ask me to explain why I love you so,
Its just something I feel and it seems to grow,
Stronger and stronger each day that I live,
I'm looking forward to loving you with all I can give,
I'm looking forward to loving you with all I can give.

Each time that I see you I want to say,
I'm looking forward to loving you I'll cherish each day,
So don't ask me to explain why I love you so,
Its just something I feel and it seems to grow,
Stronger and stronger each day that I live,
I'm looking forward to loving you with all I can give.

Through the day and the night,
You are my world,
Through the day and the night,
You Are My Pearl.
