Don't Worry about Me
03:32

I can’t explain how airplanes fly
or the ebb and flow of tides
but I see heaven in the smile of a child
so don’t you worry about me
I know friends can’t always stay
I know loved ones will pass away
I can almost hear them say
don’t you worry about me
I can be hard to live with
harder still to forgive
but you say you love me and always will
and you say don’t worry about me
I’ve seen the writings on the wall
I’ve read the letters of St. Paul
they say empires and nations will fall
but we don’t need to worry about empires at all
I know my time on earth will end
but I have faith in what happens then
so when it does just say amen
and don’t you worry about me

Rescue Me

always knew there was someone for me
even though I’ve been so alone
never knew just how it’d all work out
‘til you walked into this room
(chorus)
come on now and rescue me
don’t know how much longer I can last
holding on for all I’m worth
can’t believe this is happening
come sit down and talk to me
I’m so lonely here in this crowd
don’t know what brought me out tonight
I’m usually way too proud
(chorus)
there’s so much wanna say
why don’t we get out of here
(chorus)

The Counting Song
02:49

one two three four five six seven
I’m counting, on getting to heaven
with you
you know it's true
I can be such a clever fellow
write songs like some write letters
cause I singing to you
only you
one two three four five six seven
there’s no mistaking my intention
with you
there’s nothing to see through
I’ll jump through hoops or do the hoopty-do
turn back flips if you want me to
walk through fire and that pouring rain
anything, babe, you just need to say it
cause I would like nothing better
than for us to get together
dancing
to a brand new tune
one two three four five six seven
I’m counting on getting to heaven
with you
baby it’s true
I may not have a lot of money
but gold and silver never bought much loving
so baby,
what say you
you tell me how high to jump
and I’ll ask you to look up
in the sky as I’m sailing by
who’d have thought love would teach a man how to fly
I can think of nothing better
than for us to get together
singing
a new melody
that goes like this:
one two three four five six seven
we’re counting on going to heaven
together
you know it’s true
just say you do:
do and do do do and do

When You Kissed Me
04:35
|

I see you’re leaving by the clothes you’re wearing
And the bags you packed by the door.
I’d beg you to stay but I’ve learned the hard way
That our love’s a double-edged sword
We sat under a moon ‘til the sky turned blue
Knowing exactly where it would lead us
There was nothing I’d rather do except what we shouldn’t do
And then we’d both be defenseless
And then you kissed me
And then you kissed me
We thought we knew it all and we’d be absolved
From breaking the hearts of our lovers
But “heaven has no rage like love turned to hate”
And they burned all our bridges
Just like a summer storm, trouble seem to comes along
When you are out in the open
We were running wild with nowhere to hide
And it ended all so sudden
And we blamed each other
With word that kill just like murder
so as you say goodbye, i swear I’m going to try
to remember only the good times
like when you made me blush and we were making love
and you said close your eyes…
And then you kissed me
And then you kissed me
so as you say goodbye, i swear I’m going to try
to remember only the good times
(like) when you kissed me (x2)
