You're So Easy to Love
. . .


I love the way that you touch me
Come to me, my love, come to me
I can feel the way that you love me
Oh, run to me, woman, come to me

And now as you lay beside me
Come to me, my love, come to me
My mind is burning inside me
You can see, my love, come to me

It's so easy to love you
What a beautiful feeling
Can't help it, I love you
You make it so easy

Tonight as we walk together
Oh, come to me, my love, come to me
We'll touch the sky and hold it forever
Oh, come to me, my love, come to me

It's so easy to love you
What a beautiful feeling
I can't help it, I love you
You make it so easy

So easy to love you (Oh...oh...oh...)
What a beautiful feeling (Oh...oh...oh...)
I can't help it, I love you (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You make it so easy (Oh, yeah)

So easy to love you
What a beautiful feeling

I went down to the valley, just to find out who I am, Lord.
Down home in the valley, I've got to get myself back together again, now.
I looked all around me, but everything was still the same.
People, you can't climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain, no.
Because it takes all the love that your give to get to the other side.
It makes all the life that you can live so satisfied, yeah, so satisfied.

Come, come, comin' together, that's the only way we can go.
Children, you better turn around, take a look where you been before, now.
Come, come come on people, don't you know that we're all the same;
You know we ain't gonna climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain.
Because it takes all the love that your give to get to the other side.
It makes all the life that you can live so satisfied, yeah, so satisfied.

. . .


Everybody come on,
Sit yourself right down.
You know we been a-wait' for your arrival, yeah,
Come on, gonna have a Church Street soul revival,
Church Street soul revival.
Gonna have a good time,
Drink a little moonshine.
Brother Taylor brought his Bible, yeah,
Come on, gonna have a Church Street soul revival,
Church Street soul revival.
Gonna sing, gonna pray to the Lord,
Ain't no doubt about it.
Have a Church Street soul revival,
Gonna laugh, gonna sing, gonna shout,
Gonna laugh, gonna sing, gonna shout, yeah.
Hallelujah! Revive your soul!
Repeat 7 more times
Everybody come on,
Sit yourself right down.
Brother Taylor brought his Bible, yeah,
Come on, gonna have a Church Street soul revival,
Church Street soul revival.
Gonna have a Church Street soul revival.

Think I got me an angel,
Somebody to love.
Feel a trace of emotion.
Ooh! Can't get enough!
I'm singin'
Chorus
Oh, Adrienne. Oh, Adrienne.
Oh, Adrienne. Oh, Adrienne.
Touch every good thing.
Take 'em one by one.
Feel scarlet together.

Makin' a livin' the old, hard way.
Takin' and givin' by day by day.
I dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

My dog, Sam, eats purple flowers.
Ain't got much, but what we got's ours.
We dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

I feel fine. I'm talkin' 'bout peace of mind.
I'm gonna take my time. I'm gettin' the good sign.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

Lovin' the free and feelin' spirit
Of hugging a tree, when you get near it.
Diggin' the snow and rain and the bright sunshine.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

I feel fine. I'm talkin' 'bout peace of mind.
I'm gonna take my time. I'm gettin' the good sign.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).

Draggin' the line (draggin' the line). La la la la la la la-la-la.
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line). La la la la la la la.
(repeat ad lib until fade out)

I wanna make it back to my father's mansion.
I'm gonna make it. But at last I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home.
Here I stand. Been such a long time comin'.
Here I am. Now at last I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home. Mm-mm-mm.
I get weary, but I don't mind walkin'.
Don't get dreary, 'cause at last I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home. Mm-mm-mm.
I'm comin' home. Been too long.
I'm comin' home. Way too long.
I'm comin' home. I'm gonna make it. Here I come.

. . .


I wake up in the morning, go out to face the day
I say, "Brother, how you doin'?" in my plain and simple way.
But if I don't get an answer, I just turn my head and smile
'Cause I believe in people. Lord, that makes it all worthwhile.
Chorus
I believe, I believe, I believe in people.
I believe, I believe, I believe in people.
As I walk down the street, Lord, with my hair down in my eyes,
You know, folks, they always stare at me, but it's only my disguise.
Underneath these clothes I wear, my soul is so revived
'Cause I believe in people and I'm so glad to be alive.
repeat Chorus
I believe in people and I'm so glad to be alive.
repeat Chorus and fade

Coming to carry, coming, sweet Mary.
Lay down my body, my sins I will bare thee.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Lord, I pray my soul to keep,
When the bells a-ring out,
I'm a gonna sing out.
Mama, don't you, Mama, don't you,
Mama, don't you weep no more.
I know where I'm going.
Got no hurry, no worry, nothing to hide.
Now I lay me down to rest,
When I know I've done my best,
When my day is over,
I'll be coming over.
Mama, don't you, Mama, don't you,
Mama, don't you weep no more.
I know where I'm going.
Got no hurry, no worry, nothing to hide.
I've got nothing to hide, I'm satisfied,
Gonna rest my soul on the other side.
Coming to carry, coming, sweet Mary,
Lay down my body, my sins I will bare thee.
Repeat and fade

Tell 'Em Willie Boy's A'Comin'

[No lyrics]

. . .


Love has many colors,
Happy, good, bad, and blue.
But I've seen all of the others
And there ain't any sweeter than you.
You're my friend when I need somebody,
You're my smile whenever I'm down,
You're my joy, my sweet inspiration,
You're just love, when you're around. And
I'm gonna sing you a love song,
Not just the words and rhymes;
I'm gonna sing you a love song,
Just to tell you what's on my mind.
Baby, I'm gonna sing you a love song,
Especially for you;
Hope I can say in a simple way
Just-a how much I love you.

Listen to the lonely,
Together, but always alone.
They say love is only
Just a heartbeat, then it's gone,
You're my friend when I need somebody,
You're my smile whenever I'm down,
You're my joy, my sweet inspiration,
You're just love, when you're around. Hey,
I'm gonna sing you a love song,
Not just the words and rhymes;
I'm gonna sing you a love song,
Just to show you what's on my mind.
Baby, I'm gonna sing you a love song,
Especially for you;
And I hope I can say in a simple way
Just-a how much I love you.

She was all of a lady, you were all of sixteen,
You were king of the mountain, she was your queen.
You played in the sunshine, you danced in the rain,
It was so easy, when love was a game.
But, everybody's

Chorus
Three times in love.
Two times ain't enough, only one shines above,
Everybody's three times in love.

Lovers get older, summer goes away,
You knew that it was over so you looked the other way.
Suddenly before you, your second time around,
Ah, you're older and wiser and you're covering a lot of ground.
But, everybody's
repeat Chorus

[Over and over and over again.]
Now that you're ready, she comes along,
Your ways are steady and your feelings are strong.
She is all of your ladies, you are every man.
You've both been waiting to find each other, now you understand
Why everybody's
repeat Chorus until fade out
