Don’t Say Goodnight If you stay with me, will you love me endlessly? Will you tell me all the things I wanna hear? Will you whisper, soft and low, take me to that night so long ago, Make me feel the way you used to do… (Chorus) I ain’t askin’ for forever, no But I don’t want to be alone, oh, no Don’t say goodnight when the lovin’ ends Don’t say goodnight, baby let me pretend Don’t walk away when the morning comes, Yeah, I see the sun…. But don’t say goodnight, no don’t say goodnight I know that you ain’t mine, oh but give me dear a little time Make me feel the way you used to do Tuck me in between the sheets and my fantasy Make me feel the way you used to do Chorus Chorus/Ad lib © 2022, Gretchen Emery, All Rights Reserved

Addie Addie, have you seen him? Well, I thought I heard him laugh In a dream I had last night Took me to a place I thought I’d never see And gave me comfort When I cried (Chorus) Will you be there when he calls to you? Will you be there when he calls to you? I’ve been searching for you (will you be…) I’ve been searching for you Addie have you seen him? You know, the one with that light Addie when you meet him, Tell him I tried Please, tell him I tried Chorus Will you be there when he calls to you? Will you be there when he calls to you? ‘Cuz… I’ve been searching for you (will you be…) I’ve been searching for you Chorus Will you be there when he calls to you? Will you be there when he calls to you? Calls – to – you ‘cuz… I’ve been searching for you (will you be…) I’ve been searching for you….

If Love Were Enough Oh, father I’m sorry, Seems I’ve sinned again Don’t worry, my son All is forgiven in the end Oh, mama I don’t know Why I've been hurtin’, oh so long I followed all the rules Yet they say I’m wrong If love were enough, Maybe we’d all be ok If love were enough, Maybe we’d find a way Providence please save us from ourselves If love were enough, oh baby If love were enough…Hey (Chorus) Love ain’t enough to keep the devil from knockin’ Love ain’t enough to keep the devil from knockin’ Love ain’t enough to keep the devil... But I’ll be damned, ain’t gonna’ give up on love You held your story so long, we can’t believe you now We have decided what’s really true, anyhow Pay no mind to that man pulling the strings No, He ain’t there, now don’t you worry ‘bout a thing If love were enough, maybe we’d all be ok If love were enough, maybe we’d find a way Providence please save us from this hell If love were enough, oh baby If love were enough…Hey Chorus Love can’t stop the storm now, but I know this for sure Love is always right here waiting Long after the devil’s moved on….

The Bridge 04:19
lyrics

The Bridge There’s a sound in the soil Rises up in my bones And I shudder that a man Owns a man …’cuz he can When the day leaves you lost And the world’s upside down All you thought, All you knew Where is it now? (Chorus) Walk across the bridge Walk across the bridge with me Bend a little more Come bend a little… Hey, do your dreams buy you time? Or do the lies keep you safe? How much more double-double speak Do you think you can make? Is that Sunday meeting song Really, really you? Or is that love you sing about Only meant for a few? Chorus Am I just standin’ in the rain Talkin’ only to myself? Will your heart let you come? Hey, will your heart let you come on this trip? Will your heart let you come on… Tell me….how much longer?
