SOMETIMES I JUST LIKE TO BE QUIET
Lyrics and music by Peter Gehr. Sung Angelique Greene.
(C-G-F) (C-G-F)
Sometimes I(C)just like to be quiet.
I think there's(Dm)something special a(G)bout it.
Well, I(Dm)like my (G)friends, I'm with them(Dm)most of the(G)time,
But(Dm)sometimes I just(G)like to be(C)quiet. (G-F)
If I(C)stop talking and listen, I hear a(Dm)bird in the tree(G)singing.
Her(Dm)melo(G)dy sounds so(Dm)happy to(G)me.
Oh,(Dm)sometimes I just(G)like to be(C)quiet.
I(F)like to take time to be(C)peaceful, a(G)special time for me to be(C)still.
You,(F)too, may find you'll like it, and(C)you'll enjoy the(Am)quiet.
You(Dm)may hear something(G)special if you(C)try it. (C-G-F)
When I'm a(C)lone in bed in the evening,
I close my(Dm)eyes as I am(G)thinking
Of(Dm)all the good(G)things that my(Dm)memory(G)brings.
Oh,(Dm)sometimes it feels(G)good to be(C)quiet. (G-F)
I have one(C)mouth, but I have two ears,
So it is(Dm)obvious and very(G)clear
That Dm)liste(G)ning is an im(Dm)portant(G)thing,
So(Dm)sometimes it is(G)good to be(C)quiet.
Repeat twice
Oh,(Dm)sometimes I just(G)like to be(C)quiet. (C-G-F-C)
SOUNDS IN THE NIGHT
(C-F-C-F-C-F-C-F)
In the(C)daytime(Dm)it's so(F)loud
I(G)feel I'm blotted(C)out by the(Dm)noise and(G)glare,
But at(C)night(Dm)it's(F)all so(G)quiet,
I(C)know God(F)hears my(C)prayer.
And He(Em)shows me around the(Am)universe,
I can(F)ride on the(G)Milky(C)Way,
I can(Em)watch the golden(Am)moon rise,
And(F)hope it has come there to(G)stay.
So(C)if your(Dm)days are(F)loud and(G)weary
And you(C)feel you can(Dm)not be(G)heard,
When God(C)hears the(F)tiniest(C)bird.
(F-C-F)
When(C)every(Dm)thing(F)else is(G)quiet,
And(C)all the others(Dm)are in(G)bed,
I(C)know that(Dm)God(F)knows I'm(G)living,
His(C)voice kind of(F)sounds in my(C)head.
And I(Em)feel so close to(Am)Heaven,
Yes, I(F)feel I could(G)touch the(C)sky,
âCause at(Em)night there's nobody(Am)closer
Than dear(F)Jesus, who keeps me all(G)night.
Repeat (Dm-F-G-C-F-C)
Bridge
And if I(Em)think that nobody(Am)loves me,
I(F)wait for the(G)sun to(C)set,
And the(Em)stars come out to en(Am)tice me,
And I(F)know I'm God's own(G)pet.
Repeat (F-C)
