EVERY HIGHWAY copyright ROBB CAIRNS
EVERY HIGHWAY DOWN THE ROAD
MAKES ME HAPPY SOOTHES MY SOUL
EVERY HIGHWAY I'VE BEEN ON
SHOWS MY LIFE WHERE I BELONG.
Traveling 'round this country Seein' all kinds of folks
Mainly all good people With the same dreams and hopes.
Hearing different accents Some have different names
But we're all American Tho' we don't all look the same. (Chorus)
Seeing hills and valleys Lakes and rivers too
All across our great country An ever-changing view.
BRIDGE: FROM MAINE TO MIAMI
THRU THE WHOLE MIDWEST
MOUNTAIN STATES AND PRAIRIES
CALIFORNIA AND ALL THE REST. (CHORUS/REPEAT)

Hold My Place in Heaven

HOLD MY PLACE IN HEAVEN copyright ROBB CAIRNS
Hold my place in heaven
When I leave this earthly home
Keep alive all the memories
When dust becomes my bones.
Hold my place in heaven
Keep it shining on a hill
My love will last forever
You know it always will.
IT WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE
A LASTING LEGACY
TRADITION BRINGS US CLOSER TO THEE.
Hold my place in heaven
When I leave this dusty shore
Keep alive all the memories
of those who came before.
Hold my place in heaven
Let it shine on thru the night
Our love will be eternal
In the everlasting light. (CHORUS/INSTR/CHORUS)
Hold my place in heaven
When I reach them pearly gates
It's taken me far too long
I hope I'm not too late!
Hold my place in heaven
When I leave my country home
Keep alive all my memories
Don't let them turn to stone. (Chorus/ V1, V6)

IF WE ONLY KNEW copyright ROBB CAIRNS
IF WE ONLY KNEW
WHEN OUR LAST DAYS WERE THRU
WOULD WE LIVE OUR LIFE SO DIFFERENTLY
IF WE ONLY KNEW.
A man can spend a lifetime
Building up his wealth
But in the end was it worth anything
To keep it all to yourself.
You will be remembered
By the kindness that you show
All the people that you meet in life
Will be the seeds of love you grow. (CHORUS)
There are many here among us
Who go about their days
Without a thought for the future
How to live a better way.
What's the lesson that we learn
When the final light goes dim
Did we live our life for others
When they play that final hymn. (CHORUS/ END)

BETTER DAYS AHEAD copyright ROBB CAIRNS
There's a bad storm rising
All around the world
It reaches every city
And every single town.
Each of us needs to stand strong
And fight it all the way
There will be a new horizon
There will be a brighter day.
BETTER DAYS BETTER DAYS
THERE'LL BE BETTER DAYS AHEAD
KEEP IT STRONG KEEP IT TOGETHER
THERE'LL BE BETTER DAYS AHEAD.
There's a bad storm upon us
Tryin' to bring down everyone
Deadly disease threatens our loved ones
And no one knows where to run.
But for every fallen victim
There are two more standing strong
We'll face this brand new challenge
And get back where we belong. (CHORUS)
I see a sunrise coming up
The worst is passed, we can breathe again
Rebuilding our tomorrow
For this brand new day to come.
There's something different in our world
We realize that we are one
We're just a single planet
Revolving 'round the sun. (CHORUS/ END)

You Are My Angel

YOU ARE MY ANGEL copyright ROBB CAIRNS
The first time that I saw you, Babe
I fell instantly in love
You appeared just like an angel
Sent from heaven above.
I loved the way that you smiled at me
You broke into my heart
I knew my life would be forever changed
I knew it from the start.
YOU ARE MY ANGEL
YOU ARE MY ANGEL
YOU ARE MY ANGEL YOU ARE THE ONE.
Our love grew in a meadow
Under sunny skies
It seemed like it was endless
Gazing in your eyes.
We climbed a hill and then back down
They say that love goes round and round
You captivated my heart that day
And I never wann go away. (CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
EVER SINCE OUR FIRST KISS
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D FEEL LIKE THIS
YOU BROUGHT ME TO ANOTHER PLANE
THE LOVE I FEEL, I CAN'T EXPLAIN. (CHORUS REPEAT/END)

Mist in the Morning

MIST IN THE MORNING copyright ROBB CAIRNS
She was the mist in the morning
She was the light of first day
I was a soldier of fortune
Fighting so far away.
She was the brilliance of twilight
She was the blue in the sky
I was the guardian of memories
The distance between you and I.
I HOPE YOU CAN HOLD ON TO FREEDOM
AND NOT GIVE IN TO DESPAIR
I HOPE YOU CAN HOLD ON TO COURAGE
WITH LOVE AND FAITH, YOU'LL FIND IT THERE.
She was the first glimpse of twilight
She was the rarest songbird
Tender and warm were her feelings
She spoke without saying a word. (INSTR)
BRIDGE:
DISTANCE MAKES THE TIME BETWEEN US
SEEM SO FAR OUT OF REACH
TIME HAS A WAY OF HEALING
THE LESSONS THAT WE CANNOT TEACH.
She was a shining cathedral
She was my beacon of light
She was my compass, my sextant
Guiding me all thru the night. (V1/CHORUS, V3)

Daddy's Dance

DADDY'S DANCE copyright ROBB CAIRNS
When you were still a baby girl
Sometimes you'd wake up at night
I would pick you up and rock you gently
As we danced in the half-light.
i would hum a lullaby
As I rocked you back to sleep
Then I'd lay you softly in your crib
And you would gently fall asleep.
DANCE, DANCE MY LITTLE ONE
WON'T YOU DANCE WITH ME?
DANCE, DANCE MY LITTLE GIRL
YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.
Much later on, at your grade school
At the Daddy/Daughter dance
On the dance floor, just the two of us
Glad for our second chance.
I would hum the melody
While we're dancing to the beat
The lights were shining on the bright dance floor
And me, with two left feet! (CHORUS)
DANCE, DANCE MY LITTLE ONE
WON'T YOU DANCE WITH ME?
DANCE, DANCE MY LITTLE GIRL
YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.
A few more years after college
You'll announce your wedding day
I'll gladly walk you on down the aisle
And sadly give you away.
One more Daddy/Daughter dance
And I'll hold you close and cry
I'll dream about my baby girl
How quickly time passes by.
DANCE, DANCE MY LITTLE ONE
WON'T YOU DANCE WITH ME?
DANCE, DANCE MY LITTLE GIRL
YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.

KEEP CALLING ME HOME copyright ROBB CAIRNS
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
It's like a whisper in my ear
Your loving words are so clear
How I wish that you were here
You take away all my fear.
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
It's like a siren in the night
Your loving rings so bright
It makes my heart so light
I wonder if I have a right.
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
YOU SEND YOUR WAVELENGTH TO ME--- ACROSS THE SEA
AND I KNOW THAT YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME.
It's like the beating of my heart
You keep it going from the start
Even when we are apart
My EKG is off the chart.
It's like the rolling sea
That just swept over me
You make me feel so free
You got the best of me.
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
YOU SEND YOUR WAVELENGTH TO ME--- ACROSS THE SEA
AND I KNOW THAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE.
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
KEEP CALLING ME HOME

BEEN AROUND THIS WORLD copyright ROBB CAIRNS
I've been around this world before
Watched a sunset down in Rome
I drank the wine in Paris, France
But now I'm on my way home.
I felt the rain in Trafalgar Square
Floated gondolas in Venice
I climbed the Alps and I dined at the Ritz
But now I'm on my way home.
IT'S BEEN SO HARD TO BE WITHOUT YOU
BUT I'M SEARCHING FOR MY DREAM
I NEED TO TRAVEL EVER ONWARD
TO SEE THINGS I'VE NEVER SEEN.
I trekked the Amazon, the Serengeti Plains
Made passage down the Nile
I witnessed the Pyramids and China's Great Wall
But now I'm on my way home.
IT'S BEEN SO HARD TO BE WITHOUT YOU
BUT I'M SEARCHING FOR MY DREAM
I NEED TO TRAVEL EVER ONWARD
TO SEE THINGS I'VE NEVER SEEN.
COULD IT BE THAT I'M WASTING ALL MY TIME
TRAVELING 'ROUND THIS CRAZY WORLD
BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE, MORE THAT I MUST SEE
THIS WHOLE WORLD'S WAITING JUST FOR ME.
I meditated in the Himalayan slopes
I hiked all thru Tibet
I sailed around the Cape of Good Hope
But now I'm on my way home.
Now, I'm on my way home
Now, I'm on my way home
HOME TO YOU.
