The Way I Feel (The Way I Feel) 3:02
The way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
Now a woman lord is like a young bird
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart
Among his boughs you will find her nesting
When the nights are cool she is warm and dry
Your coat of green it will protect her
Her wings will grow your love will too
But all too soon your mighty branches
Will cease to hold her and she'll fly from you
Now the way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare

I'm Not Supposed To Care
I (A) think you have somebody (A+) waiting
Outside in the (A6) rain to take you a(A7)way
You got (D) places to go, you got people to see
Still I'm gonna (E7sus4) miss you, but (E7) anyway
I (A) wish you good (A/G#) spaces
In the (A/F#) far away (A/E) places you (D) go (D/C#) (G/B) (D/A) (E)
If it (E/D) rains or it (E/C#) snows (E/B)
May you (A) be safe and warm (A/G#) and (A/F#) never grow old (A/E)
And (D) if you need somebody (E7sus4) sometime (E7)
You (A) know I will (A/G) always be (D/F#) there (Dm/F)
I'll (A/E) do it although I'm (E7sus4) not sup(E)posed to (A) care (E7sus4) (E7)
I'll give you the keys to my flying machine if you'd like
I will show you the light and when you call I'm gonna come to you
And when you find someone who loves you
I'll know you would treat me the same
Just lie there, you're not supposed to care
I think you have somebody waiting
Outside in the rain to take you away
That's some kind of a game
Still I'm glad it came down to the final round, but anyway
If you think you need someone who needs you
You know I will always be there
I'll do it although, I'm not supposed to (A) care (A/G#) (D/F#) (Dm/F)
I'll (A/E) do it although, I'm (E7sus4) not sup(E7)posed to (A) care

PLEASE NOTE: YT has provided us with an option for viewing on this vistory. Click on "watch in high quality" under the Views indicator. The difference is amazing! :) Thank you YT! Thank you for your request cjthemusicman. There could be only one subject for this wonderful song -- a spider's web. You must admit that there's nothing quite as magical as a web when it's intricacies are highlighted with the sunlight and the morning dew -- except, or course, the web of Love.

Spin, Spin (Sunday Concert Plus) 2:29
So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and I'm caught again!
In a web of wild design,
I do not know what fate is mine!
All the day sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
Well my daddy said when I was young,
"Beware the web of love, my son,
To be in love is to be insane,
Make an old man groan, a young man pain!"
All the day, sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
Then I did grow and the time did fly,
Many a true love passed me by.
And then you came like a blinding storm,
I landed in your web so warm,
All the day, sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and I'm caught again!
In a web of wild desire,
And I cannot control the fire!
All the day sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
All the day sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
Spin, spin, spin, spin!

Ordinary Man
(C) (G) (Am) (G) (C)
(G) Try to under(Am)stand
(D) I'm not your ordinary (F) man, still I (C/E) can't de(F)ny
You go (D/F#) with me everywhere
When I'm (F)dreaming you still (D/F#) share my lonely (C/G) nights (G) (C)
(G) Try to see my (Am) side
(D) It's not your ordinary (F) pride that keeps (C/E) driving me (F) on
It's that (D/F#) lonesome, restless feeling that you (F) feel under the gun
And it (C/E) leads me to the highway but it (D) keeps my body warm (G) (C/G) (G)
(Am) And as I (D) wander to the (G) cities and the (Am) towns
I get so lonesome knowing (G) you could be a(C)round
And (Am) when the show is (D) over, there's a (G) holiday mo(Am)tel
Another empty (F) bottle and an(Esus)other tale to tell (E7)
Try to comprehend
I'm not your ordinary friend at the end of my life
I would pray that I could be
Returning to the shelter of your love
Try to see my side
It's not your ordinary pride that keeps driving me on
It's that lonesome, restless feeling that you feel under the gun
And it leads me to the highway but it keeps my body warm
And as I wander to the cities and the towns
I get so lonesome knowing you could be around
And when the show is over, there's a holiday motel
Another empty bottle and another tale to tell
Try to understand
I'm not your ordinary man, still I can't deny
You go with me everywhere
Like a shadow in the gloom
I remember all the good times
There's a ghost in every room

Thank you rdsurbaugh for requesting "Same Old Loverman". Elvis Presley was the first person that came to mind when I listened to this song. After quizzing a few others and finding that I wasn't alone in my thinking, Elvis became the focus of this vistory. I hope you like it. ~~ Lynn
Same Old Loverman (Songbook) 3:21
I'm not some long lost someone
Just dropped in to say hello
It's that same old lover man
Baby you lost so long ago
'Cause I was born to believe
I never could deceive
Believe me
I hear no children's voices
Have they gone back to school
And that same old lover man
Is still acting like a fool
I guess I was born to bring you grief
Though I never was a thief
Believe me
It's cold outside your window
Please let me in, the night is wild
It's that same old lover man
Not some lonesome winsome child
An' I was born to believe
I never could deceive

Thank you KevHes1 for requesting Miguel. The others are coming. :) This one is truly a "team" effort with many of the images being provided to me by Tj. Thank you!
Miguel (Summer Side of Life) 4:12
Never had much to say
He traveled alone with no friends
Like a shadowy ghost
At dawn he came and he went
Through the woodland swiftly gliding
To the young maid he came riding
Where she'd run to meet him
By the garden wall
Oh my sweet Miguel
I will never tell
No one will ever know
What I know too well
And he'd smile and lay his head on her breast
And he'd say I have no fear
They're waiting for me to cross the border, to swim the river
'Cause I've done that before
To see my true love's smiling face
A hundred times or more
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried
I'll love you 'til I die
He was born to the south
In Mexico they say
The child of a man
Who was soon gone away
But his mother loved him dearly
And she would take him yearly
To the great cathedral in St. Augustine
Oh my young Miguel
Listen to the bell
Of my poverty
You must never tell
And he cried himself to sleep in the night
And he vowed to make things right
So he took the gun down from the wall and he paid a call
He knew she'd understand
A lawman came to capture him
The gun jumped in his hand
Oh Miguel the mother cried
You must run son or you'll die
So the story is told
Of his true love 'cross the line
As strong as the oak
And as sweet as the vine
And the child she bore him
Came on the fateful morning
When they sent him to his final rest
Oh my sweet Miguel
Listen to the bell
No one will ever know
What I know too well
Then she'd smile and lay the child on her breast
And she'd say I have no fear
I'm waiting for you to cross the border, to swim the river
'Cause you've done that before
To see your true love's smiling face
A hundred times or more
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried
I'll love you 'til I die

About a month ago I mentioned to Lynn how much I liked Gordon's Spanish Moss - Lynn answer
About a month ago I mentioned to Lynn how much I liked Gordon's Spanish Moss - Lynn answered, you are entitled to a request or two you know , and so it is requested again it seems, once earlier by Nance - but was misplaced - my apologies to Nance.
The scenario that came to mind is that Gordon met a southern Belle while performing in Savannah Georgia. Their relationship might have been for lifetime, had things gone differently ... and, she had a daughter that Gordon called " Spanish Moss"....just a thought that works for me. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the request dear Lynn!

Spanish Moss
(G) Let go darling, (G+) I can feel the (G6) night wind call (G7)
(Am) Guess I'd better (Bm) go
I (C) like you more than (G/B) half as much
As I (Am7) love your Spanish (D7) moss
(G) Spanish moss a-(G+)hanging down
(G6) Sweeter than the (G7) southern love we've (Am) found
(D) Spanish moss, (D7/F#) keeps on following my (C/G) thoughts a(G)round (C) (D)
(G) Georgia pine and (G+) ripple wine
(G6) Memories of Sa(G7)vannah summer(Am)time
(D) Spanish moss, (D7/F#) wish you knew what I was (C/G) say(G)ing
(Am) So I'm rolling north (D) thinking
Of the (G) way things (B7/F#) might have (Em) been (Dm)
If (C) she and (G/B) I could have (Am7) changed it all some(D)how (D7)
Spanish moss a-hanging down
Lofty as the sycamore you've found
Spanish moss, keeps on following my thoughts around
Georgia pine and ripple wine
Kisses mixed with moonshine and red clay
Spanish moss, wish you knew what I was saying
So I'm rolling north thinking
Of the way things might have been
If she and I could have changed it all somehow
Let go darling, I can feel the night wind call
The devil take the cost
I like the way your kisses flow and I love your Spanish moss

The Last Time I Saw Her (Did She Mention My Name) 5:10
The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
The last time she spoke to me, her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I walked with her
Her laughter was the steeple bells
That ring to greet the morning sun
A voice that called to everyone
To love the ground we walked upon
Those were the good days
The last time I held her hand, her touch was autumn, spring and summer, and winter too
The last time I let go of her, she walked away into the night
I lost her in the misty streets, a thousand months, a thousand years
When other lips will kiss her eyes
A million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and she walked alone
The last time she kissed my cheek
Her lips were like the wilted leaves
Upon the autumn covered hills
Resting on the frozen ground
The seeds of love lie cold and still
Beneath a battered marking stone
It lies forgotten

Lexic requested this lesser known song of Gordon Nous Vivons Ensemble - "We Live Together"
Lexic requested this lesser known song of Gordon Nous Vivons Ensemble - "We Live Together" written in tribute to two great Generals Wolfe and Montcalm who battled on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City for the rights to the lands we call Canada.
The vistory presents images of Canada from Coast to Coast to Coast - wonder how many you can identify - the first to identify all the images will be entitled to a special "fasttrack" Lightfoot request.
Bonne Chance

(D/A) When they sent the lamb to (A) die
You and I were asleep in the Rock of (D) Ages
Remember the unborn children still to (A) come (F) (E) (B/E)
(A) If you (Am7) need me and (D/A) I need you
There's (E/A) nothing else needs (A) saying (E/A)

Voici comment nous pouvons decouvrir une autre humanite
Sur les plaines D'Abraham
Lors du dernier sacrifice
Toi et moi nous dormions tres loin dans le temp
Souviens toi des enfants qui attendent encore
Si tu me veux je seraila c'est tout ce que j'ai a dire
Car comprend moi
