Kenny Rogers Album

I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no more.
But the Master of the sea

Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me.
Now safe am I.

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me.

Souls in danger look above
Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by his love
Out of the angry waves

But the master of the sea
Billows His will obey
He your savior wants to be
Be saved today

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help

I would like to see you again

I was sitting here thinking about some old times
Some old times, some old friends
Suddenly it came across my mind
That I would like to see you again.

Remember how we used to walk and talk
Walk and talk holding hands
we said we loved each other I recall
We made a lot of future plans.

But the years have come and gone
And a whole lot has happened since then
But tonight your memory's awful strong on my mind
And I would like to see you again.

It's funny how an old flame comes down
Come on back, make you blue
But I saw the picture of a railroad track
An old shot of me and you.

I guess I'd better straighten up my mind
Straighten it up and go to bed
I pray that I don't dream about old times
Some old times, gone and dead

But years have come and gone….

You always were a dreamer with your eyes on the horizon
Wondering what laid beyond as far as you could see
You left to find a castle, a knight in shining armor
Or maybe just to spread your wings and feel that you are free.

Runaway girl, there's someone here who loves you
And understands you, you're not alone
Runaway girl, I won't stop until I found you
And put my arms around you and take you home.

You longed to fame and fortune, you were looking for a rainbow
Knowing someone down the line has found your heart of gold
Castles sometimes crumble and too often dreams were shattered
Then you'll be left with nothing but a tortured mind and soul

Runaway girl, ….

As a child, mama told me all about You
And all the things You've done
I wondered all these years how You kept goin'
And had the strength to carry on
She said You'd always be beside me
To help me up if I should fall
If I get lost You'll always find me
And all I have to do is call

When Moses cried for help to free his people
You opened up the mighty sea
When David said, 'He sure looks big, Lord!', You said,
'Here's a stone and you've got Me!'
And when Daniel said, 'The lions are gonna get me Lord!' You said,
'Get down, get down on your knees.'
And in six short days You made the world we live in,
And still You find the time for me.

Oh, You stayed up forty days and forty nights
Makin' all that rain
And when You see us messin' up this world You love so much
That's gotta bring pain
If I was big enough, and strong enough to help you, Lord, I would
But I can't
You gotta be tired, Lord
You gotta be tired

[No lyrics]

Take a gun out of the closet, put it on next while aboard it
Come stand in front of me and let me see
Take a one smile that you wear
And place it on these lips that's burning
To share this fire you've built inside of me.

Turn the light down in the bedroom,
Put the sheet down from the pillow
When we're like this love's easy understood
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love it
And let's love each other while the feeling's good.

With all my will I promise, with all of me I love you
This feeling that I got just grows and grows
I can't stop disapponting you, I ccan't stop my need in you
No more than I can stop the wind that blows.

About to hold your sweet loving
As long as we both have this feeling
I love you every way
I know that's good.

Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love it
And let's love each other while the feeling's good...

Heavenly sunshine

I've searched for words of sweet description to best describe
The thrill it gives me just to have you by my side
But I can't find one single word that properly defines
How sweet it is just knowing that all your love is mine.

Your love is heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine
You fill my heart with your sweet love so divine
Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine
You make me happy ‘cos your love is mine.

The colors in a rainbow are a lovely sight to see
But even rainbows lose their glow when you smile at me
And when you kiss me I can hear a thousand bluebirds sing
no matter how the sounds of words could only mean one thing.

Your love is ...

There's an old man in our town
And I guess he's been around
For years and years
At least it seems that way.

Wrinkled hands and rocking chair
Growing old just sitting there
Every year he had the sing
For youth to say.

Youth only happens to you one time
An so I've been told
If you should miss it in your youngtime
Have it when you're old.

Now there's no old man sitting there
Just an empty rocking chair
But the things he said
Will always be around.

Someday when I'm old and grey
Maybe youth can come my way
I'll be proud to be
The old man in our town.

And I'll say youth only happens to you one time
An so I've been told
If you should miss it in your youngtime
Have it when you're old...
