Alabama Album

Lyin' beside you watching you sleepin'
After you've loved me so tenderly
I'm searchin' for some way to tell you
How good it felt when I held you
There's so many ways you get to me

'Cause you've got the touch
It turns me on and on
You light the fire in me
That keeps burning strong
The longer I'm with you
The deeper and deeper in love I fall
You've got the moves
You move me so much
You've got the touch

As you wake up you pull me closer
And whisper good morning warm in my ear
Nobody could do that like you do
You make it so easy to love you
And I know I will for a million years

'Cause you've got the touch
You turns me on and on
You light the fire in me
That keeps growing strong
The longer I'm with you
The deeper and deeper in love I fall
You've got the moves
That move me so much
You've got the touch

Nobody can touch me like you do
You make it so ease to love you
And I know I will a million years

'Cause you've got the touch
You turns me on and on
You light the fire in me
That keeps growing strong
The longer I'm with you
The deeper and deeper in love I fall
You've got the moves
That move me so much
You've got the touch

You've got the moves
That move so much
You've got the touch

Well it's time for my vacation
It's time for me to have some fun
Yes, it's time for my vacation
I wanna lay out in the sun in Florida

Cause I've been working every weekend
I've been working overtime
Now it's time for my vacation
Have nothing on my mind, that's right

Goin' swimmin' in the blue hole
And fishin' with an ol' cane pole

Cause I can't be like Walter Mitty
It must be real, it must be right
Cause it's dog eat dog to the pinnacle
And success is an uphill fight

I am fresh and clean every morning
And dead on my feet every night

Said it's time for my vacation
It's time for me to have some fun
Yes, it's time for my vacation
I wanna lay out in the sun all day long

We are back to basics
And count my blessings one by one

We're up for school by seven
Got exams all week long
It's been study study study
But come Friday gonna be gone
I'm gonna get out of here

R and R on Saturday and Sunday
And party, party on and on

Well I've been drivin' on the freeway
Traffic slipped and traffic slide
It's wall to wall insanity
Blowin' horns or showin' lights

Should I wind my watch in frustration
Or should I go flying high, no

Gonna take my vacation
Travel on beach to have some fun
Cause it's time for my vacation
I wanna lay out in the sun, all day long

Headed back for Mother Nature
And party, party all night long

There's softness in the sound
There's sweetness in the way you whisper
When you say "Honey I love you
Is there anything I can Do?"

You've helped me through all my pain
Made sunshine out of rain
and you're the one I'll be in love with all my life
Oh, I thank God for my true, true housewife,

There's times I hear you say
"Honey, there's just no way I'd ever leave you."
You mean the world to me
Our love is locked and you've got the key.

You have given me a world
A little boy and little girl
and you're the one I'll be in love with all my life
Oh, I thank God for my true, true housewife.

When I go out of town
She's still around to greet me
She's waiting at the door
At at a quarter of four in the morning.

She says "I missed you so much
Missed your warm and gentle touch
and you're the one I'll be in love with all my life."
Oh, I thank God for my true, true housewife.

Oh, I thank God for my true, true housewife...

Gentle conversation, walking hand in hand
Sunset on the water, footsteps in the sand
And our hearts beat in rhythm to the waves that are rolling in
Oh, I wonder, is this how love begins?

Day turns to night and there's music in the air
The candle light casts a glow around your hair
The touch of your body, your fingers on my skin
Oh, I wonder, is this how love begins?

Woooo...is this how love begins?

I've been lonely for so long,
Like a man stranded in the rain
If someone had said I'd be in love tonight,
I'd have told 'em that they were insane...insane [Yeeah, Yeeeah.]

Well, can it be real, is this happening to me?
Is that the look of love, in your eyes I see?
Is my waiting over, is it my chance to win?
Oh, I wonder, is this how love begins?

Woooo...is this how love begins?
Woooo...is this how love begins?
Wooo...Woooooo...

Hello baby, I'll be by to pick you up at eight
Wear that red dress
You know the one you wore on our first date
Ease into my chevrolet
We're gonna listen to those oldies play...behind the wheel.

We'll go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
It don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

There's the drive-in
The place where you and I shared our first kiss
There in the moonlight
Love was shining on a night like this
Slide on over next to me
We're gonna make some new memories...so hold on tight.

We'll go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
It don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

We'll go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
It don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

--- Instrumental ---

Now, it don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

Baby let's go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
You and I can go cruisin'...

(Terry Skinner/J. L. Wallace/Kenneth Bell)

Play us a song we can slow dance
On we wanna hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts be together
Oh baby 'cause it feels so good
When we're close like this
Whisper in my ear
And let me steal a kiss

Come on touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin' in love

Tonight's the night and it feels so right
What my heart's saying to me
You're the one and I've waited so long
So let your love flow through me
Oh baby 'cause it feels so good
We can be this close
You've got me up so high
I could fly coast to coast

Come on touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin' in love

Oh touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin'
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love

Touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin'

All day and all of the night

Touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin'
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love

Touch me when we're dancing
Touch me when we're romancing
Touch me when we're dancing

Can I have your attention
Ladies and gentlemen
We are honored
To have among us
Someone special tonight.

Let's hear it for the girl
Who made one man's dream come true
Let's hear it for the girl
Darling hears to you.
For the good and bad
For everything that we have had, together
Here's to the rest of forever with you.

Don't stand there so shy
Come on, please, don't cry
I just gotta tell
I just gotta tell the world about you
So wipe those tears and take a bow.

Let's hear it for the girl
Who made one man's dream come true
Let's hear it for the girl
Darling hears to you
For the good and bad
For everything that we have had, together
Now, here's to the rest of forever with you, with you.

Let's hear it for the girl
Who made one man's dream come true
Let's hear it for the girl
Darling, here's to you
For the good and bad
For everything that we have had, together
Hears to the rest of forever with you.

I just gotta tell the world about you.

Let's hear it for the girl (for the girl)
Who made one man's dream come true
Let's hear it for the girl
Darling hears to you
For the good and bad
For everything that we have had, together
Well, hears to the rest of forever with you, with you.

With you...

I must have been the luckiest man in the world
I'll never know why I left her
There's nothin' like the love of a small town girl
But I thought I'd found something better.

So I hit the big cities from coast to coast
And I must admit I had a good time
But now I've been around, and I'd like to settle down
But only with the one that I left behind

And it's all comin' back to me now
It's all comin' back to me now
It's all comin' back to me now.

--- Instrumental ---

You know I never was much for keepin' in touch
I never wrote and never heard from her
I'd love to talk to her, maybe try to make up
For some of the pain I caused her.

I realize now, I'm down on my luck
And she's what I could never find
And now I'm back in town, but she's not around
And I'm dealin' with a heartache of the very worst kind.

And it's all comin' back to me now, right now
It's all comin' back to me now.

I wonder now if this is how she must have hurt
I know, for what I did, I'm gettin' what I deserve
'Cause it's all comin' back to me now.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I'm back in town, but she's not around
And I'm dealin' with a heartache of the very worst kind.

And it's all comin' back to me now, right now
It's all (it's all) comin' back (comin' back) to me now.

--- Instrumental & vocalizations ---

It's all (comin' back, comin' back to me now)
(comin' back, comin' back to me now)
(comin' back, comin' back to me now...)

--- Instrumental to fade out ---

Umm. don't she look good on the floor movin' so slow, um hm
Look how she's lookin' at him and dancin' so slow
There's not a man in the crowd
Who wouldn't like to hold her righ now.

I taught her everything she's knows about love
So why is she lookin' at him like I ain't enough
I wonder if I didn't teach her a little to much
'Cause, I taught her everything she knows about love.

Well, someone just handed her a note with a bottle of wine
When I asked her who it was from she just said honey it was fine
Maybe I shouldn't give it much thought
But I know how well she's been taught.

I taught her everything she's knows about love
So why is she lookin' at him like I ain't enough
I wonder if I didn't teach her a little to much
'Cause, I taught her everything she knows about love.

I catch a guy lookin' at her
But now she's lookin' too
I taught her everything about love
Now she's lookin' to find somethin' new.

I taught her everything she's knows about love
So why is she lookin' at him like I ain't enough
I wonder if I didn't teach her a little to much
'Cause, I taught her everything she knows about love.

--- Instrumental ---

I taught her everything she's knows about love.

I taught her everything she's knows about love
So why is she lookin' at him like I ain't enough
I wonder if I didn't teach her a little to much
'Cause, I taught her everthing she knows about love.

He came in and sit down at the end of the bar
His old rawhide shirt full of dust
He asked for a glass and he ordered rye whiskey
He talked himself and he cusses

He left Sacramento early that morning
With a sackful of mail for St. Joe
Had to outrun some outlaws outside of Carson City
Riding where they wouldn't go

He said to me,"Mister,this long riding hell
But I guess it's got to be done
Otherwise how would you get all your mail
If the pony express couldn't run?"

I said,"I hear you,mister and you do your job well
But I hear it won't be for long
They'll be sending the mail by the wire and the rail
And your pony express and you will be gone

He came in and sit down at the end of the bar
His coveralls covered with dust
He said Jesse James had just held up his train
He talked to himself and he cussed

He pulled out of St.Joe early that morning
With the mail and the union payroll
Had to stop for a rockslide outside of Jackson City
And Jesse James made off with the gold

He said,"Mister,this railroading hell
But I guess it's got to be done
Otherwise how would you get all you mail
If that old iron horse couldn't run?"

I said,I hear you,mister and you do your job well
But I hear it won't be for long
They'll be sending the mail without you or the rail
'Cause they say man will fly before long

He came in and sit down at the end of the bar
His face looked all harrard and grey
He ordered a drink and said,"Make it a double"
Boy,has it sure been a long day

He pulled out of Denver early that morning
He said,"You'll never guess where I've been
A highjacker needed a lift down to Kelo
So your mail will be late getting in"

I said,"I hear you,mister and you do your job well
But you know it ain't been that long
They were doing it best with the pony express
Before you and your friends came along...
