“For all the things my hands have held // The best by far is you”
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine // You make me happy when skies are gray // You’ll never know dear, how much I love you // Please don’t take my sunshine away”
“I raise my glass // On a Saturday night // I thank the Lord above // On my Sunday drive // For Daddy’s hands // And Mama’s dreams // He gave me roots //
She gave me wings”
“My daddy taught me how to do my own thing // He said to let it out // Long as you find your groove // Be a dancin’ fool // Go ahead and find your groove // Be a dancin’ fool // Make sure you stand out in the crowd and show them all what you can do”
“I will walk with you // Even when the sun don’t shine // The rain it may come down // And fate may be unkind // If you get a scrape // I’ll brush away the tears // Come what may I will walk with you”
“As I slipped out my bed // To your crib I crept // Touched your head gently // Felt my heart melt // Cause I know I loved you more than life itself”
“She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey // She’s an angel of the first degree // She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey // Just like honey from the bee”
“I am with you always // From the darkness of night until the morning // I am with you always // From life until death takes me”
“I’ll be the ocean so deep and wide // And catch all the tears whenever you cry // I’ll be the breeze after the storm is gone // To dry your eyes and love you all warm”
“I’m only one call away // I’ll be there to save the day // Superman got nothing on me // I’m only one call away”
“May you win and stay humble // Smile more than grumble // And know when you stumble // You’re never alone”
“When the night has come // And the land is dark // And the moon is the only light we’ll see // No I won’t be afraid // No I won’t be afraid // Just as long as you stand, stand by me”
“Hope when you take that jump // You don’t feel the fall // Hope when the water rises // You built a wall // Hope when the crowd screams out // It’s screaming your name // Hope if everybody runs // You choose to stay”
“You’ve got a friend in me // You’ve got troubles, well I’ve got ’em too // There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you // We stick together and see it through //
Cause you’ve got a friend in me”
“And if this old world starts getting you down // There’s room enough for two // Up on the roof // Up on the roof”
“Long may you run // Long may you run // Although these changes have come
// With your chrome heart shining in the sun // Long may you run”
“Yesterday I saw you standing there // Your head was down // Your eyes were red // No comb had touched your hair // I said get up // And let me see you smile // We’ll take a walk together // Walk the road a while”
