ALL THE LOVE MY HEART CAN HOLD V1 Twenty years ago, our first kiss There were stars in the sky, harvest moon on the rise You held me close, neither of us spoke V2 We stepped through the moonlight holding hands I felt a change in my heart, I felt love again All these thoughts were running wild in my head sayin'' CHORUS Give me all the love my heart can hold Stay with me ''till I''m old And give me all the love my heart can hold Wrap me in your arms when I''m cold And give me all the love my heart can hold Give me all the love, all the love my heart can hold V3 Now we''ve traveled the world, places ancient and far Climbed sand dunes and mountains, thrown coins in fountains Saw animals in all their glory, to make our own story V4 Now we''re back on our porch swing holding hands I can''t believe how lucky I am that you''re my man CHORUS You give me all the love my heart can hold You''ll stay with me ''till I''m old And give me all the love my heart can hold You wrap me in your arms when I''m cold You give me all the love my heart can hold You give me all the love, all the love my heart can hold © Sue Sherback

V1 Snow covered mountain tops lost in the clouds Animals roaming free and wild Sunlit deserts filled with grains of sand Ocean waves rolling toward the land V2 The beautiful song of a morning bird Listen closely or it won't be heard The strength of a flower standing tall in the rain Year after year it will rise again Chorus This is God's Garden A special place He calls Earth He wrapped it in heaven for his Son's birth Take a walk through the valleys Run through the streams Watch over God's Garden It's his gift to you and me V3 Every child, every woman, every man Stand and join your hands Raise your eyes to the sun, the moon, and stars at night Look to the northern sky for the show of lights Chorus In God's Garden....... Bridge Let's all get down on our knees, plant a seed Shower it with faith, hope, and charity Help it grow into the strongest oak tree Chorus In God's Garden....

THE COUNTRY Words and Music © Sue Sherback V1 Hot summer sun on the tall tan grass We made our way along the overgrown path Around the bend we saw the old wooden house Seemed like time had stopped The fields on the farm had fallen back Back to nature's hand All the years of lovin' care had vanished from CH1 The Country, smells of fresh cut grass The Country, cool drinks in a glass The Country, spendin' time with Gram and Pap The Country, long hikes through the woods Not returning when we should The Country was all of that V2 The tornado had brought winds of change Tossed the trees about, blew the windows out Now the memories in the rooms of that house Were swept away with the broken glass Pap had passed, Gram was growing older Upkeep was too much to shoulder With heavy hearts we nailed up the sign For sale by the realtor in CH2 The Country.....repeat chorus B We remembered pickin' apples for fresh baked pies Remembered closing our eyes to star filled skies Remembered the hum of the old steel mill We remembered Pap wavin' from the windowsill Now there's no one, no one at the window To greet us to the Country, the Country V3 Now strangers they stop and stare With no feeling for what once was there Plans they made call for clearin' the land Makin' room for a big neighborhood plan While some people they stop and stare They're not strangers to what once was theirs Money they made will never replace Parts of lives they left out there In all their hearts lives CH3 The Country.......
