1.	Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground 03:42	lyrics	buy track
If you had not have fallen Then I would not have found you Angel flying too close to the ground And I patched up your broken wing And hung around a while Tryin' to keep your spirits up And your fever down I knew someday that you would fly away For love's the greatest healer to be found So leave me if you need to, I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound I'd rather see you up than see you down So leave me if you need to, I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground Leave me if you need to, I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground
2.	Shape of My Heart 05:19	lyrics	buy track
He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He don't play for respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape The shape of my heart If you told me that you loved me I'd maybe think there's something wrong You're not a man of too many faces The mask you wear is one But those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape The shape of my heart
3.	Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly I gotta love one man 'til I die Can't help loving that man of mine Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know Can't help loving that man of mine When he goes away That's a rainy day But when he comes back That day is fine The sun will shine He can come home As late as can be Home without him Ain't no home to me Can't help loving that man of mine
4.	Black Velvet 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with a baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightning, bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl "Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash, he was gone, it happened so soon What could you do? Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please

I'm, I'm so in love with you Whatever you want to do Is all right with me 'Cause you make me feel so brand new And I want to spend my life with you Since, since we've been together Loving you forever Is what I need Let me be the one you come running to I'll never be untrue Let's, let's stay together Loving you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad Why, why do people break-up Turn around and make-up? I just can't deceive You'd never do that to me Stayin' around you is all I see Let's, we oughta stay together Loving you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad Let's, let's stay together Loving you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad
6.	Need You Now 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Picture perfect memories Scattered all around the floor Reaching for the phone cause I can't fight it anymore. And I wonder if I ever cross your mind. For me it happens all the time. It's a quarter after one. I'm all alone and I need you now. Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control And I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now. Another shot of whiskey Can't stop looking at the door. Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before. And I wonder if I ever cross your mind. For me it happens all the time. It's a quarter after one. I'm a little drunk and I need you now. Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control And I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now. It's a quarter after one. I'm all alone and I need you now. And I said I wouldn't call But I'm a little drunk and I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now.

8.	In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning 05:36	lyrics	buy track
In the wee small hours of the morning While the whole wide world is fast asleep You lie awake and think about the boy And never, ever think of counting sheep When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be his if only he would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss her most of all When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be his if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss him most of all

I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last My heart should be well-schooled 'Cause I've been fooled in the past And still I fall in love so easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last My heart should be well-schooled 'Cause I've been fooled in the past And still I fall in love so easily I fall in love too fast
11.	The Dance 05:44	lyrics	buy track
Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Holding you, I held everything For a moment wasn't I the queen If I'd only known how the queen would fall Hey, who's to say, I might have changed it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance
