LYRICS

WHAT IF

What If I didn’t see, What If I didn’t feel
What If I didn’t care you were gone,
What If I didn’t know, What If I didn’t cry
What If I didn’t feel all alone

What If I didn’t watch, What If I didn’t see
What If I didn’t have to watch you leave
What If I didn’t fall, What If I didn’t break
What If I weren’t in pieces on the floor

What If I didn’t need, What If I didn’t hope
What If I didn’t pray to have you home
What If I didn’t care, What If I just stayed here
What If I just let you go

What If I didn’t watch, What If I didn’t see
What If I didn’t have to watch you leave
What If I didn’t fall, What If I didn’t break
What If I weren’t in pieces on the floor

What If I didn’t care
What If I just stayed here
What If I just let you go

THE RIVER SONG

Rain warm on me
Little house with jewels in the yard I’m wastin’ my time

It’s by the river she glows
It’s by the river she flows
It’s by the river she goes when she goes where she goes

Breeze teasin’ the flies
Simple songs to sing out the seasons No reason to cry
It’s by the river she glows
It’s by the river she flows
It’s by the river she goes when she goes where she goes
I’ve got time on my hands to kill
I’ve got people in a house on the hill I’ve got time to get by you know
But there’s nothin’ that I don’t know ‘Cept the river that flows

Drones hummin’ to me
Angels push the clouds past the moonlight That lights up the trees

It’s by the river she glows
It’s by the river she flows
It’s by the river she goes when she goes where she goes

STRANGE LIGHT

There’s a strange light in the river
There’s a strange light in the sand
There’s a strange light in the window
And a strange light on your hand

There’s a strange light when you’re sleeping
A strange light when you dream
There’s a strange light when you wake up
There’s a strange light on the screen

There’s a strange light on the ocean
And there’s a strange light on the land
There’s a strange light where you’re sitting
And a strange light where you stand

There’s a strange light in the mirror
And there’s a strange light on the door
there’s a strange light on the ceiling
And there’s a strange light on the floor

There’s a strange light in the forest
There’s a strange light in the breeze
There’s a strange light on the road ahead
And a strange light in the leaves

There’s a strange light in the morning
There’s a strange light through the day
There’s a strange light in the evening
And a strange light That won’t go away

There’s a strange light on the ground below
A strange light in the sky
A strange light when you tell the truth
And a strange light when you lie

There’s a strange light every time you speak
A strange light when you cry
There’s a strange light every time you’re born
And there’s a strange light when you die


DARLIN’ OH DARLIN’

Darlin’ Oh Darlin’ you know where I’ve been
Lost in the arms of my best friends man
Darlin’ Oh Darlin’ oh what can I do
I can’t take back what I done to you

Oh Darlin’ oh Darlin’ you know where I’ve been
Lost in the arms of my best friends man
Darlin’ Oh Darlin’ oh what can I do
I can’t take back what I done to you

Darlin’ oh Darlin’ oh why can’t you see
That virtue and honor aren’t a part of me
Darlin’ oh Darlin’ I ask you to pray
That all of this pain will just fade away

Lord take me away
I don’t deserve pity
Lord take me away

I can’t take it back can’t take it
I can’t take it back can’t take it

Lord take me away
I don’t deserve pity
Lord take me away

I can’t take it back can’t take it back



 
IF I GO AWAY

If I go away

Just know how much I love you

And that I was thinking of you

The last moment of my last day

If I go away

I should’a told you so much more

I think I tried to ignore

That morning brings the day

When I go away

 

If I took the time to say

I’d tell you how proud I am

To be a father and a man

And how I wish that I could stay

If I go away

I couldn’t have asked for more

I hit the jackpot, that’s for sure

These things I wish that I could say

If I go away

 

I should have said how much I love you

And that I was thinking of you

It was more than I could say

 

WHEN THE LOOMING NEARS



When I see him coming for me

Will he be a friend?

I will know my time is over

You won’t see me again

 

When I hear him coming for me

Will he call my name?

When it’s time to cross on over

Things won’t be the same
 

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
 

I will go if I must leave you

Please don’t sob and heave

You may miss me, please don’t grieve me

Trees must lose their leaves

 

Come the night Come the day

Time won’t let me stay

Come the night Come the day

I’ll be on my way

 

I’ll remain within your heart

When it’s time to leave

Think of me with smiling eyes

That weep, but do not grieve
 

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa

 
Come the night Come the day

Time won’t let me stay

Come the night Come the day

I’ll be on my way

Come the night Come the day

I’ll be on my way

Come the night Come the day

I’ll be on my way



I’LL FLY AWAY

Some glad morning when this life is o’er,

I’ll fly away;

To a home on God’s celestial shore,

I’ll fly away

 

When the shadows of this life have gone,

I’ll fly away;

Like a bird from prison bars has flown,

I’ll fly away

 

I’ll (fly away) fly away oh glory

I’ll fly away (in the morning)

When I die Hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

 

Oh how glad and happy when we meet

I’ll fly away

No more cold iron shackles on my feet

I’ll fly away

 

I’ll (fly away) fly away oh glory

I’ll fly away (in the morning)

When I die Hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

 

I’ll (fly away) fly away oh glory

I’ll fly away (in the morning)

When I die Hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

 



KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE

There’s a dark and a troubled side of life
There’s a bright, and a sunny side, too
Tho’ we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us ev’ry day, it will brighten all our way
If we keep on the sunny side of life

Oh the storm and its fury broke today,
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear;
The clouds and storm will, in time, pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us ev’ry day, it will brighten all our way
If we keep on the sunny side of life
If we keep on the sunny side of life
