Take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes Honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now With so much time to spend Why paint this house again? When the floorboards creak and pull you from your slumber Well, I'd hold you 'til the end But honey, even oaks must bend If we intend to stick with one another So take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes And honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now Out the door and down the drive There's a part of me that tries To keep that highway's call to me away And another, further still That sadly never will Feel at home no matter how long I may stay So take this heart of gold and melt it down And I'll come around I'll come around I'm treading lightly in your eyes And honey, I can't live a lie But a life without you could never steal me now

Lay your head down on my shoulder I won't let the night get colder I'll protect you, I'll be keepin' Trouble far from where you're sleepin' Until you wake in the mornin' You've got the world to yourself Dream on, dream about the world We're gonna live in one fine day Dream on, spent the night in Heaven I'll be here to light your way Someday tomorrow we'll smile But little girl in the meanwhile, dream on You're a princess chains around you I'm a hero who just found you 'Til a brand new day must wake you Let imagination take you Go where the music is playing I'll be along in awhile Dream on, dream about the world We're gonna live in one fine day Dream on, spent the night in Heaven I'll be here to light your way Someday tomorrow we'll smile But little girl in the meanwhile, dream on Dream on, dream about the world We're gonna live in one fine day Dream on, spent the night in Heaven I'll be here to light your way Dream on, dream about the world We're gonna live in one fine day Dream on, spent the night in Heaven I'll be here to light your way

The Oak Ridge Boys – Freckles (Written By Sterling Whipple) They'd all called her Freckles when summer was coming around All the kids that were running and laughing and some turned to brown. And I'd find her crying and hurt by the words that they said And follow her home just trying to be her friend. And I'd say Freckles you're pretty, There's a rainbow on your face. Do you want to know a secret? None of them could take your place Cause your different and special And she'd hold my hand and sigh And say I always want to see me through your eyes. But summers just turned into winters and then into years And slowly the smile of a woman replaced all her tears, And some how I knew in a while that my friend would be gone As I watched a sad ugly duckling turn into a swan. And I said Freckles you're special And she'd hold my hold and sigh And say I always want to see me through your eyes. But soon she was flying, dancing laughing and proud And I took my place, a face alone in a crowd. Knowing her lovers can't see past her smooth golden skin And that's how I know that Freckles will come back again. And I'll say Freckles I love you There's a rainbow on your face. Cause she'll be smiling through her teardrops As she runs to my embrace. Freckles you're special And she'll take my hand and sigh And say I only want to see me through your eyes. And I'll say Freckles I love you There's a rainbow on your face Cause she'll be smiling through ...(.fading)

Tell you why I called on you This is what we're going to do Take this lovely gift of love Sent to us from Heaven above I said baby I think that we can help each other see (oh yeah) We'd make this life that we're living seem More like it's supposed to be Well ev'ry man should have a good woman Ev'ry woman should have a good man Won't you stand along beside me Let me do the best I can Take each other's heart in hand. I want to sing just a little love song I want to sing for a little while Back up and tow the line for you I want to be your all in all. (Chorus) Bless you babe, I love you so Love from whom all blessings flow Me to you and you to me This is how it's going to be I said baby we're gonna know the joy The years can bring (oh yeah) And every time I think about it I just want to lift my heart and sing (on more time) Ev'ry man should have a good woman Ev'ry woman should have a good man Won't you stand along beside me Let me do the best I can Take each other's heart in hand. (Chorus)

I spent last night in the arms Of a girl in Louisiana And though I'm out on the highway My thoughts are still with her A strange combination of a woman and a child A strange situation stoppin' every twenty miles Callin' Baton Rouge A replay of last night's events Roll through my mind Except a scene or two Erased by sweet red wine And I see a truck stop sign ahead So I change lanes I need a couple cups of coffee And a couple dollars change Callin' Baton Rouge Operator get me on through I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge Hurry up won't you put her on the line I want talk to that girl one more time. Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine It won't be long until I'm with you all the time Until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime. Callin' Baton Rouge.
