Little Bird
i watch for the mailman
as a child waits for santa clause
hoping for news from you-
no word comes
you don't know what
you do to me
i am trapped-
a prisoner in my own home
one day you'll return
from africa or germany
or where you've been
to find your little bird
has flown it's cage

Little Life You're Welcomed So
where did it all begin
and lord will it ever end
all the pain inside me
oh, lord come down and hide me
oh, i lost a sweet love
but i can't cease to exist
letting go the closeness
and the sweetness of his kiss
inside me grows a child
whose father never did know
love has made this child grow
little life you're welcomed so

Lookin' For A Good Man
It happened one evening.
It was not so long ago.
It happened one evening.
It was not so long ago.
I heard my baby walking.
He walked right out the door.
I just sit here crying.
Lawd, I've got nowhere to go.
I just sit here crying.
No, I've got nowhere to go.
When my baby left me
He took my heart and soul.
I keep going to the window.
Lawd, I'm just staring at the night.
I keep going to the window.
Lawd, I'm just staring at the night.
I keep looking for a good man,
One who is gonna treat me right.

Love Is Everything
Love Is Everything
if i should live to be one-hundred
i still shall not forget
the love that lives deep inside of me
the one that never quits
i found a touch of heaven
in the brush of his finger tips
there was magic in the soft words
he whispered with tender lips
to a woman love is everything
she puts her whole heart in it
and even when all hope is gone
her mind still dabbles in it
