What do I do With My Heart
You don't have to say a word
I can see it in your eyes
I know what you wanna say
It's so hard to say goodbye
I can hold back my tears
And try to be strong
While our love is fallin' apart
I know what I'll say
If you walk away
But what do I do
What do I do with my heart?
I'm not gonna say a word
I know I can't change your mind
You know where you need to go
I know I'll be left behind
I won't hold you back
I won't stand in your way
If you need to make a new start
But I still wanna know
When my arms let you go
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?
Oh, girl, don't you remember?
It was not so long ago
We were makin' plans for two
Just me and you
Now you tell me that you've found somebody
Someone who loves you better
No one could ever love you
The way I do
Tell me you're not leavin' now
Tell me you're not leavin'
Tell me that you're gonna stay
Please say you'll stay with me, baby
Tell me that you love me still
Say you love me still
For this and this alone I pray
Fall down on my knees and pray
I'll do anything
Yes, I would
To save what we have
To keep you by my side
I'll love you 'til death do us part
But what do I do
What do I do
When I'm still missing you?
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?

I'd rather Be a Cowboy
This is a song I sang at a talent night in college......
Jesse went away last summer, a couple of months ago
After all our time together, it was hard to see her go
She called me right up when she arrived, asked me one more time to come
Or livin' on an la freeway, ain't my kinda havin' fun
I think i'd rather be a cowboy
I think i'd rather ride the range
I think i'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down in love and lady's chains
We were just beginnin', it was such an easy way
Layin' back up in the mountains, makin' songs for summer days
She got tired of pickin' daisies, cookin' my meals for me
She can live the life she wants to, yes, it's alright with me
I think i'd rather be a cowboy
I think i'd rather ride the range
I think i'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down in love and lady's chains
I'd rather live on the side of a mountain
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
I'd rather laugh with the rain and the sunshine
Then lay down my sun down in some starry field
Oh, but i miss her in the morning, when i awake alone
The absence of her laughter, is a cold and empty sound
But her memory always makes me smile, and i want you to know
I love her yes i love her, just enough to let her go
I think i'd rather be a cowboy
I think i'd rather ride the range
I think i'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down in love and lady's chains

Cherry Cherry
Neil Diamond's assertion -- "my baby loves me, yes, yes she does...the girl's outa sight" -- sounds as celebratory as it did 40 years ago.
Baby loves me
Yes, yes she does
Ah, the girl'ss outta sight, yeah
Says she loves me
Yes, yes she does
Gonna show me tonight, yeah
She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me, Cherry baby
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me
No, we wont tell a soul where we gone to
Girl, we do whatever we want to
Ah, I love the way that you do me
Cherry, babe, you really get to me
You aint got no right
No, no you don't Cherry baby
Ah, to be so exiting
Wont need bright lights
No, no we won't
Gonna make our own lightning
She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me, Cherry baby
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me
Tell your mama, girl, I can't stay long
We've got things we gotta catch up on
Mmm, you know, you know what I'm sayin
Can't stand still while the music is playin
She got the way to move me, TCherry
She got the way to groove me, Cherry baby
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me

People - I love you
Larry Norman's constant theme from 1967's hit single, to 2008's final notes. Let's not forget Larry's musical legacy.
I love you, I love you, I love you
Yes I do-o-o
I love you, I love you, I love you
Yes I do but the words won't come
And I don't know what to say
I shouldn't hide my love deep inside
The words should explain but the words won't come
If you could see what you mean to me
The words should explain but the words won't come
And oh, how hard I try to tell you I lo-o-ove you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Yes I do-o-o
I love you, I love you, I love you
Yes I do but the words won't come
And I don't know what to say, yeah!
------ organ ------
I should tell you I love you, I do
The words should explain but the words won't come
I shouldn't hide my love deep inside
The words should explain but the words won't come
And oh, how hard I try to tell you I lo-o-ove you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Yes I do-o-o
I love you, I love you, I love you
Yes I do but the words won't come
And I don't know what to say
I love you
