The Ozark Hills Of Branson (109)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

It was a spectacular
Missouri spring mornin',
Sunshine peekin' o'er
The Ozark hills of Branson.

Happy to be together,
Our weekend getaway,
We drove through the night
And pulled in on Friday.

Hold me, kiss me,
Touch me, love me.
Let's escape together.
Come get away with me.

Boat ride on Tanneycomo,
An Andy Williams' show.
Candlelight dinner,
Baby, I'm wantin' you so.

A magical and balmy
Moonlit Missouri night.
A warm summer breeze,
Everything is just right.

Come and lay down beside me.
Press up close against me.
At last we're alone.
Hold me tight, make love to me.

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Cute little hillbilly
Ozark mountain lady,
You're gettin' to me, baby.
And you're on my mind daily!

Pretty, bright and witty,
Sometimes just a bit silly.
You're gettin' to me, sweetie.
Oh you sure are, yes really!

Sweet simple country girl,
So honest and so pure.
You're gettin' to me, baby.
Pullin' my heartstrings for sure.

The simple life you lead,
No big city pretentions!
You're gettin' to me, honey.
May I express my affection!

But are you right for me?
And am I the one for you?
Yep, you're gettin' to me hon.
Now what the heck should I do?

You're gettin' to me, baby.
In my mind and in my heart!
You're gettin' to me, honey.
Yah yah, yah yah! Yes you are!

Cold Feet (098)

Have you ever had "cold feet"? Have you ever been in a relationship with someone else who got "cold feet"?

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

'Woke up this mornin',
You were on my mind.
A sweeter little gal,
I ain't ever gonna find.

I've known some ladies,
But only a few.
Perfume on my pillow
Keeps remindin' me of you.

Most definitely
The best one of all,
You're really special,
A real sweetheart, a real doll.

We had a great night,
But now we're apart.
I miss you already,
You've gotten into my heart.

I'm just wondering;
I was just thinking.
Why don't we get married,
And do the right thing?

For better or worse,
'Til death do us part.
For richer or poorer,
In sickness and in health.

We love each other;
That's quite evident.
So why not tie the knot,
Make a life-long commitment.

For better or worse,
'Til death do us part.
For richer or poorer,
In sickness and in health.

Been married before,
But it didn't last.
Learned a few things,
From that marriage, from my past.

For better or worse,
'Til death do us part.
For richer or poorer,
In sickness and in health.

Keep askin' myself,
I wanna be sure.
Will I always and forever
Love, honor and cherish her?

For better or worse,
'Til death do us part.
For richer or poorer,
In sickness and in health.

Don't wanna screw up
Nor make a mistake.
Don't wanna fail this time;
Had plenty of heartache.

For better or worse,
'Til death do us part.
For richer or poorer,
In sickness and in health.

Maybe this won't work;
Perhaps I should wait.
Better not take a chance,
I'd better not tempt fate.

For better or worse,
'Til death do us part.
For richer or poorer,
In sickness and in health.

I'm gettin' cold feet;
I'm gettin' cold feet.
I can't go through with it.
Damn it! I'm gettin' cold feet!

No, no, I just can't!

I'm gettin' cold feet;
I'm gettin' cold feet.
I can't go through with it.
Damn it! I'm gettin' cold feet!

Our One Week, One Night Stand! (078)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Had a smile on my face,
And I was feelin' real grand
On the third or fourth day
Of our one week, one night stand.

I'd lost ten pounds or more,
And I could barely still walk.
Really needed some sleep,
But she just wanted to talk.

One, two and three night stands
Are just absolutely fine,
But she wants commitment
And that really blows my mind!

Too much of a good deal
Ain't always the greatest thing.
But I'll tell ya' this much,
I sure wasn't complaining.

Now, she kept me awake,
Because she wanted to talk.
I couldn't get away;
I was too dang sore to walk.

She said that we ought to
Settle on down together.
She said our one night stands
Would get a whole lot better.

Well, that made me nervous;
I'll just have to admit it.
I mean what could I say?
Told her I'd think about it.

Now, that made her happy,
So we started in all over again!
And folks, lemme tell ya' ...
I'm happier than I've e'er been!

I was so tired and sore,
But she made me feel so grand!
I'll always remember
Our one week, one night stand!

Oh yeah ...

I'll always remember
Our great one week, one night stand!

'Can't Stop Lovin' You; 'Can't Stop Wantin' You (032)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

'Can't stop lovin' you,
Even though I've tried.
'Can't stop wantin' you,
This I won't deny.

My mind keeps sayin'
I gotta move on.
But my heart just won't
Let me break the bond.

'Can't stop lovin' you,
Though I wish I could.
'Can't stop wantin' you,
Though I know I should.

I can't forget you;
You're still on my mind.
My heart is achin';
These are lonesome times.

'Can't stop lovin' you;
'Guess I never will.
'Can't stop wantin' you;
I desire you still!

Oh yeah ...

'Can't stop lovin' you;
'Guess I never will.
'Can't stop wantin' you;
I desire you still!

A Missouri Moment In Time (030)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Missouri moonlit summer night,
Stars in the heavens shining bright.
Twinkling reflection in your eyes,
The burning passion of our sighs.

Holding you in my arms real tight,
My world is feelin' oh so right.
Gettin' to be more than good friends,
I don't want this moment to end.

Missouri gentle summer breeze,
The soothing sound of rustlin' leaves.
Your silky smooth skin touching mine,
Don't think I've ever felt this fine.

Two young lovers 'neath the starlight,
A warm Missouri summer night.
Tender kisses loving n' sweet,
Look of desire as our eyes meet.

Missouri moment, stay with me;
Your beautiful face I still see.
Missouri moment, ne'er before
Have I loved or been loved any more.

Oh yeah, lemme tell ya ...

Missouri moment, stay with me;
Your beautiful face I still see.
Missouri moment, ne'er before
Have I loved or been loved any more.
