patience is needed
“Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required.”
—President Thomas S. Monson
“Patience—a Heavenly Virtue,” Ensign, Nov. 1995, 59

Working Man [ lyric video ]
I WORK HARD ALL DAY PAINTING HOUSES
AT NIGHT I PLAY PIANO DOWN IN THE LOUNGE
I’M WORKING LONG HOURS TO FEED MY FAMILY
I’M A WORKING MAN DOING ALL I CAN
I GOT A WOMAN WHO TAKES CARE OF ME
AND I LOVE HER LIKE A BIRD WHO LOVES THE SKY
SHE’S ALWAYS THERE WHEN I REALLY NEED HER
SHE HOLDS ALL THE CHILDREN WHEN THEY NEED TO CRY
I HEAR A VOICE SAY THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT AHEAD
BUT I’M WAY TOO TIRED TO SEE THE POINT OF IT ALL
WELL THERE MIGHT BE A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
BUT THE LOAD FEELS TOO HEAVY TO HEAR THE CALL
BUT LET ME SAY THERE’S A LOT OF WORKING MEN
WHO MAKE THIS OLD WORLD TURN ROUND AND ROUND
AND A LOT OF HUNGRY FAMILIES WORKING HARD TO GET BY
TO HEAR THAT DINNER BELL TO HEAR THAT SOUND
I’M A WORKING MAN , WORKING MAN
AND I’M A WORKING MAN, DOING THE BEST I CAN
TRACK # 23 FROM THE ALBUM “REMEMBER”

Sun Shining Through My Window Today [ lyrics video ]
SUN SHINING THROUGH MY WINDOW TODAY
SUN SHINING THROUGH MY WINDOW TODAY
I PULL MY CHAIR TO THE WINDOW
I SEE THE DIRT ON THE GROUND
I FEEL THE SUN ON MY BODY

Stand Your Ground [ lyric video ]
STAND YOUR GROUND DON’T BACK DOWN
STAND YOUR GROUND DON’T BACK DOWN
SHE WAS ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE LIGHT
OUT RUN THE DEVIL’S DARKEST NIGHT
SHE WAS THANKFUL DAY BY DAY
SHE WAS AMAZED I HEARD HER SAY
PRAY FOR THE FAITHFUL PRAY FOR THE MEEK
STUMBLE AND FALL DOWN
YOU GOT TO GET UP WHEN YOUR WEAK
STAND YOUR GROUND DON’T BACK DOWN
SHE WAS HONEST WITH HERSELF
DIDN’T LET TEMPTATION DICTATE WEALTH
SHE HAS SOMETHING TO LIVE BY
WHEN THEY ASKED HER TO TELL A LIE
STICK TO YOUR GUNS NOW STAND FOR THE TRUTH
HELP IS ON THE WAY YA GOT TO FIGHT NAIL AND TOOTH
STAND YOUR GROUND DON’T BACK DOWN
HE WAS LIKE HER IN MANY WAYS
NOT LIKE THE OTHERS GOING THROUGH A PHASE
HE WAS A CHAMPION OF RARE TASTE
HE LOST HIS NERVE MOVED IN HASTE
SHE WAS HIS MOUNTAIN. HE COULD NOT FALL
SHE GAVE HIM COURAGE YOU GOT TO SEE THEM CONQUER ALL
STAND YOUR GROUND DON’T BACK DOWN

Stand By You [ lyric video ]
Darlin’ Oh Darlin’ I’m going to stand by you
Darlin’ Oh Darlin’ I’m going to do right by you
Stand by you through the troubled times
Stand by you ease your worried mind
Darlin’ Oh Darlin’ I’m going to stand by you
When you feel the world caving-in on you
When you feel the world making you so blue
Hold my hand I’ll make you feel alright
Hold my hand I’ll love you through the night

Smoke in My Eyes
She walked away I got nothing to say
Somebody asked me ‘Why do I cry?’
I tell you no lies. I got smoke in my eyes
So long ago I guess we fell in love
I’d give her the moon and the stars above
I’m not good with goodbyes. I got smoke in my eyes
I got smoke in my eyes I got smoke in my eyes
I got smoke in my eyes I got smoke in my eyes
Maybe someday I’ll get back on my feet
But until then I’ll keep smiling so sweet
I’ll hide my disguise. I got smoke in my eyes
I sit by this fire, crackling wood
I’ll carry on. Please tell me I should
There’s clouds in the skies I got smoke in my eyes
I got smoke in my eyes I got smoke in my eyes
I got smoke in my eyes I got smoke in my eyes
Track # 18 from the album “Remember”
Copyright 2021 Doug Voice

Sky's The Limit
YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR ME TO COME IN
BUT YOU DON’T KNOW OH WHERE I’VE BEEN
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW
JUST SITTING AT THE DINER NO PLACE TO GO
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
YOU EAT YOUR LUNCH WELL IT’S NOT THE SAME
I’M NOW THERE NOW WELL WHO’S TO BLAME
A PICKLE WITH A SANDWICH SERVED WITH FRIES
THERE AIN’T NO COMPASSION IN THOSE STONY EYES
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
“HAVE FAITH IN YOUR MAN” THE WOMAN ON THE T.V. SINGS
YOU’RE LOOKING AT YOUR SANDWICH +YOUR WEDDING RINGS
COULD THIS BE THE TURNING POINT IN YOUR MIXED UP LIFE?
YOU PUT SOME BUTTER ON THAT KITCHEN KNIFE
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
YOU GOT TO KNOW THAT YOU’RE NOT LIKE ME
WITH YOUR FACE IN THE PAPER WELL THAT’S ALL YOU SEE
IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOUR TRANSFORMATION
JUST SITTIN AT THE DINER AT THE RAILWAY STATION
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR LOVE
TRACK 17 FROM THE ALBUM “REMEMBER”
