Katie’s sittin’ on her old front porch Watchin’ the chickens peck the ground There ain’t a whole lot goin’ on tonight In this one horse town Over yonder comin’ up the road In a beat up Chevy truck Her boyfriend Tommy is laying on the horn Splashing through the mud and the muck
Her daddy say’s, “he ain’t worth a lick” When it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick” But Katie’s young and man she just don’t care She’d follow Tommy anywhere She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy And even if they have to run away She’s gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie Parked in the very last row They’re to busy holding on to one another To even care about the show Later on outside the Tasty Freeze Tommy slips something on her hand He says, “my high school ring will have to do ‘Til I can buy a wedding band”
Her daddy say’s, “he ain’t worth a lick When it comes to brains He got the short end of the stick” But Katie’s young and man she just don’t care She’d follow Tommy anywhere She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy And even if they have to run away She’s gonna marry that boy someday
Her Daddy’s waitin’ up ’til half past twelve When they come sneakin’ up the walk He says, “young lady get on up to your room While me and junior have a talk” Momma breaks in says, “don’t lose your temper It wasn’t very long ago When you yourself was just a hay seed plow boy Who didn’t have a row to hoe”
“My daddy said, ‘you wasn’t worth a lick When it came to brains you got the short end of the stick’ But he was wrong and honey, you are too Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you” She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy What’s meant to be will always find a way She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy What’s meant to be will always find a way She’s gonna marry that boy someday
Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy And he wondered what in heaven, who invented such a joy But the question got the better of his scientific mind And to his blind and dying gaze He looked up high and often sighed And sometimes cried
Who puts the rainbow in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine? Someone like you and made them mine?Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then But just remember the alternatives for I remember when I was lonely and unhappy And my lips were cold as ice But you kissed me and good heavens Now I’m here in paradise
So if ever I’m not kissing you or looking in your eyes I won’t be blind and I won’t cry I’ll look up high and gladly sigh And thank the guy
Who puts the rainbow in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine? Someone like you and made them mine? Someone like you and made them mine?
Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there’s no one else above you You fill my heart with gladness Take away all my sadness Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
For the morning sun and all it’s glory Greets the day with hope and comfort, too You fill my life with laughter And somehow, you make it better Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine And it’s yours and it’s mine Like the sun And at the end of the day We should give thanks and pray To the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there’s no one else above you You fill my heart with gladness Take away all my sadness Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine And it’s yours and it’s mine Like the sun And at the end of the day We should give thanks and pray To the one, to the one
And have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there’s no one else above you You fill my heart with gladness Take away all my sadness Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness Ease my troubles, that’s what you do Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

Lyrics
For the other half of the sky
Woman, I can hardly express My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness After all I’m forever in your debt
And woman, I will try express My inner feeling and thankfulness For showing me the meaning of success
Ooo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo, well, well Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo Ooo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo, well, well Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Woman, I know you understand The little child inside the man Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart However distant don’t keep us apart After all it is written in the stars
Ooo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo, well, well Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo Ooo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo, well, well Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, well
Woman, please let me explain I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever
Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy And he wondered what in heaven, who invented such a joy But the question got the better of his scientific mind And to his blind and dying gaze He looked up high and often sighed And sometimes cried

So if ever I’m not kissing you or looking in your eyes I won’t be blind and I won’t cry I’ll look up high and gladly sigh And thank the guy
Who puts the rainbow in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine? Someone like you and made them mine? Someone like you and made them mine?
When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one there to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love
I know you haven’t made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I’ve known it from the moment that we met No doubt in my mind where you belong
I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue I’d go crawling down the avenue No, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea And on the highway of regret Though winds of change are throwing wild and free You ain’t seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn’t do Go to the ends of the Earth for you To make you feel my love To make you feel my love
