All your hidden faces Your seven veils unfold Give me forbidden places All your tales untold Give me ever and always Ever and always Body and soul Heaven and hope eternal Over your heart of gold Sun and sunset Burning in the flame you hold Ever and always Give me ever and always Body and soul Yesterday Today Tomorrow Body and soul Give me ever the years you wept inside when cold All the sins and secrets never cried All the dreams you kept and the tears you sold Give me Give me ever and always Ever and always Body and soul Your heart Your mind Your body and soul

The day begins to blur Under this bruised light Within the beast still stirs Am I unfit to guide? And now I'm weeping towards the sky For what seeps back into the earth Are we not supposed to love In fear of losing someone? Are we too afraid to feel Too many wounds to heal? Will they ever heal? Will they ever heal? 'Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no We don't need this pain and this suffering, no Just a little mercy No No, no You cannot live the life The life left behind you You cry out loud with all your might But no one will hear you There will be desolation We will throw ourselves into the fire But the sooner love is gone The ghosts will begin to haunt But I know the beauty lies In the dawn's early light Well, it gives and gives in healing waves But that's not enough No, it's not enough 'Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no We don't need this pain and this suffering, no Just a little mercy No No Just a little mercy Just a little mercy Just a little mercy

If everyday was Christmas If we could make believe If everyone would care a little more There'd be harmony The city is covered in snow tonight The children fast asleep I'm waiting for him, but he's nowhere in sight And I wonder if he could hear me Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa I wish with all my might Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa Bring my baby home tonight Why does it feel like it's colder than winter Even by the fireside My baby said that he'd be home for Christmas And now it's almost midnight The Christmas lights up and down the street Are such a sight to see But all the presents by the tree They don't mean a thing till he's with me Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa I wish with all my might Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa Bring my baby home tonight I know your sleigh is full inside But won't you stop and give my baby a ride I'll be waiting by candlelight this Christmas The Christmas lights up and down the street Are such a sight to see But all the presents by the tree They don't mean a thing Santa please hear me Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa I wish with all my might Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa Bring my baby home tonight The Christmas lights up and down the street The presents by the tree I hear a knock, oh can it be? My wish is staring back at me Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa I guess you heard me tonight Hey, Santa Hey, Santa, Santa I'm underneath the mistletoe With my baby tonight Sleigh ride It's Christmas time

It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye Romance was the theme And we were the players I never think of this without a sigh Lover, one lovely day Love came, planning to stay Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting The setting for nights beyond forgetting And through these moments apart memories live in my heart When I recall the love I found on I could kiss the ground on Green Dolphin Street Lover, one lovely day Love came, planning to stay Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting The setting for nights beyond forgetting And through these moments apart memories live in my heart When I recall the love I found on On Green Dolphin Street

Me and Hannah did everything together Said we'd be best friends forever Then her mama got a job that was better, across the parish line And I was one summer shy of 11 When Granddaddy took a ride up to Heaven It ain't ever been an easy lesson on how to say goodbye They say, "What don't kill you makes you stronger" and I believe that's right Through every low-down beatin' this old heart's taken A whisper in the dark says I won't make it I know it's just the devil doin' what he does, tryin' to make me suffer No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin' I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying I'm gonna make it through, one way or the other Life is tough, but this girl's tougher I'm a sucker for a boy with blue eyes A pair of boots and an old four-wheel drive So, when I saw you in the July moonlight I thought, "Oh, good Lord" I let you lay that sun kiss on me And open up that truck door for me Now I find out that I ain't the only girl you're doing that for You're gonna get a good cry from me tonight, but nothin' more Through every low-down beatin' this old heart's taken A whisper in the dark says I won't make it I know it's just the devil doin' what he does, tryin' to make me suffer No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin' I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying I'm gonna make it through it, one way or the other Life is tough, but this girl's tougher Than anything you throw my way Yeah, I might bend but I won't break You ain't the first, won't be the last to make me feel this way Through every low-down beatin' this old heart's taken A whisper in the dark says I won't make it I know it's just the devil doin' what he does, tryin' to make me suffer No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin' I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other Life is tough, but this girl's tougher Life is tough But this girl's tougher

Big heart, big smile Big voice on the radio dial Like a country music modern day apostle Yeah, I leaned in like it was gospel W-W-D-D That's the bottom line for me My go-to compass and my golden rule When life rings my southern bell I just gotta ask myself, hell What would Dolly do? In them heels In that dress Wouldn't put up with no BS She'd kill ya with some kindness, take the high road Turn a little rain into a rainbow W-W-D-D That's the bottom line for me My go-to compass and my golden rule When life rings my southern bell I just gotta ask myself, hell What would Dolly do? Didn't let dirt poor hold her back And getting told no, it don't mean jack Ain't scared of nothing ain't nobody's fool Don't put up with heartbreak, boys like you W-W-D-D That's the bottom line for me My go-to compass and my golden rule When life rings my southern bell I just gotta ask myself, hell What would Dolly do? I said hell what would, Dolly do? Hey, what would Dolly do?
