[ VERSE 1: ]
WAS TIME TO SAY MY LAST GOODBY
I TURNED MY HEAD UP TO THE SKY, AND CRIED
"NOW LORD, I CAN'T TAKE IT
TO LET HER GO'S (OR HIM GO) SO HARD TO DO
EVEN THOUGH SHE'S (OR HE'S) THERE WITH YOU,
PLEASE LORD HELP ME MAKE IT"

[ CHORUS: ]
"GIVE TO ME A CHAIN OF STRENGTH
STRETCH IT OUT AND ADD A LINK
I KNOW IT'S GONNA TAKE IT
HELP ME TO ENDURE THE PAIN
‘TILL THAT GREAT DAY WE'LL MEET AGAIN
YES LORD, HELP ME MAKE IT
YES LORD, HELP ME MAKE IT"

[ VERSE 2: ]
"SO, MANY TIMES MY LIFE YOU'VE BLESSED
NOW I MAKE ONE MORE REQUEST OF YOU
OH LORD, YOU'VE NEVER LEFT ME
THIS MOUNTAIN OF GRIEF I'LL HAVE TO CLIMB
IF YOU'LL JUST HELP ME ONE MORE TIME
PLEASE LORD, WON'T YOU HELP ME"

[ REPEAT CHORUS ]

"THE GRASS BENEATH THE SWING"

[ VERSE 1: ]
SHE USED TO COME TO ME AND SAY," DADDY TAKE ME TO THE YARD AND SWING ME
MAKE ME GO REAL HIGH, WAY UP TO THE SKY, DADDY WON'T YOU SWING ME"
AND WHERE HER FEET WOULD DRAG THE GROUND, THE GRASS WAS TORN AWAY THERE FROM THE LAWN
AND I WOULD SMILE AND TELL HER MOM," I GUESS WE'LL GROW SOME GRASS WHEN SHE GETS GROWN"

[ CHORUS: ]
AND THAT SPOT WAS ALWAYS BARE
GRASS COULD NEVER GROW RIGHT THERE
HER LITTLE FEET KEPT IT SWEPT CLEAN
THERE WAS NO GRASS BENEATH THE SWING

[ VERSE 2: ]
I'M THE ONE WHO BOUGHT THE CAR AND I'M THE ONE WHO TAUGHT HER HOW TO DRIVE
AND HOW I LOVED TO HEAR HER SAY, "DADDY LET ME TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE"
AND I'M THE ONE WHO TOOK THE CALL THAT CUT INTO MY HEART JUST LIKE A KNIFE
SOMEONE DRANK TO MUCH, VEERED INTO HER PATH, AND TOOK HER LIFE

[ 2ND CHORUS: ]
NOW THERE'S GRASS BENEATH THE SWING
AND I KNOW THE HEAVENS SING
NOW SHE'S EARNED HER ANGEL WINGS
AND THERE'S GRASS BENEATH THE SWING

[ BRIDGE: ]
MY MIND REPLAYS HER CHILDHOOD DAYS AND I STILL SEE HER SMILE
THOUGH GOD NOW HOLDS HER IN HIS ARMS HE SHARED WITH US A WHILE

[ REPEAT 2ND CHORUS AND END ]

"I NEED A MR. RIGHT, RIGHT NOW"

I GUESS I SHOULD ADMIT, I AIN'T BEEN FEELING NONE TOO GOOD
JUST A LITTLE BIT NEGLECTED AND A WHOLE LOT OF MISUNDERSTOOD
BUT I'M GONNA BOUNCE BACK LIKE I ALWAYS DO, SOMEHOW
I GOT TO FIND A MR. RIGHT ,'CAUSE I NEED A MR. RIGHT, RIGHT NOW

[ CHORUS: ]
I NEED A MAN THAT'S KIND OF SETTLED, I AIN'T LOOKING FOR THE LATEST HEART THROB
WOULDN'T HURT IF HE'S GOOD LOOKING, EVEN BETTER IF HE'S GOT A JOB
NEED TO FIND ME A MAN NOT AFRAID TO TAKE A LOVERS VOW
I GOT TO FIND THAT MR. RIGHT, 'CAUSE I NEED A MR. RIGHT, RIGHT NOW

I DON'T NEED NO MAMA'S BABY, 'CAUSE I WON'T BE BABYING HIM AROUND
AND I DON'T WANT ME NO PUSHOVER, BUT A MAN THAT WILL STAND HIS OWN GROUND
I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO LOVE ME AND EACH NIGHT BE COMING HOME
AND WHEN I FIND MY MR. RIGHT, I'LL FORGET ABOUT MY MR. WRONG

[ REPEAT CHORUS ]
