Bobby Goldsboro - The Very Best Of Bobby Goldsboro [compilation] (2007) by Bobby Goldsboro (보컬) on maniadb.com

It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
I told Billy-Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking
She was 31 and I was 17
I knew nothing about love
She knew everything
And I sat down beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring
The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the sky
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown
And I thought it would melt her
She threw back her hair
Like I wasn't there
And she sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two lips.
And when she looked at me
I heard her softly say
I know you're young
You don't know what to do or say
But stay with me until the sun has gone away
And I will chase the boy in you away
And then she smiled and we talked for a while
And we walked for a mile to the sea
We sat on the sand, and a boy took her hand
But I saw the sun rise as a man
Ten years have gone by
Since I looked in her eye
But the memory lingers
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
And feel the touch of her fingers
It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming...

See the tree, how big it's grown,
But friend, it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her, and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

Then the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away so it wouldn't die...
Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed 'til I cried

She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve 2 years ago

And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late cause I would know
That she'd been sittin there an' cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show

And Honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

She wrecked the car, and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But, what the heck though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck...

I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly, in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom, and robins sing, she went away...

And Honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

One day while I was not at home,
While she was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name

Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived, and Honey played and love grew up
and a small cloud passes over head
And cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved

And see the tree how big it's grown
But, friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
And I laughed at her, she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig...

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

(Those happy hours) (Repeat x2)
(That we once knew) (Repeat x2)
(Though long ago) (Repeat x2)
(Still make me blue)
Still make me blue
(They say that time) (Repeat x2)
(Heals a broken heart) (Repeat x2)
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart) (Repeat x2)

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
Sing a song, children
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
Cause I've left that girl so many times before.

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go.

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I believe to now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand how lonely life is been
But life begin again
The day you took my hand

And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get ( bring) me down
Now that's you're around me

And you'll love me too
You thought so just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All that love is dead
The my belief

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

A cold December day.
I saw her on the highway
I said I'm headed west.
She said your going my way.
Then she got in with me.
Somewhere in Tennessee.
She snuggled up close to me.
She kissed me and then she said.

I want you to take me to my California Wine.
She said I got to get back where the bright sunshine.
And then she turned my head around like California wine.
And then she smiled at me and put her hand in mine.
And poured me a cup of wine, sweet California wine.

She said she thumbed all day.
Been in West Virginia.
She said I'll make a trade.
For all the love that's in ya.
I can sit and talk to you.
Share a cup of wine or two.
And I could be good to you.
She kissed me and then she said

I want you to take me to my California Wine.
She said I got to get back where the bright sunshine.
And then she turned my head around like California wine.
Then she smiled at me and put her hand in mine.
And poured another cup of wine, sweet California wine.

We chased a fading sun.
And watched the shadows falling.
And as we sipped the wine.
I heard California calling.
And she was good my dear.
And it became very clear.
I shifted into second gear.
I kissed her and then I said

I'm gonna take you to the California wine
I said we got to get back where the bright sunshine.
And then she turned my head around like California wine.
And then she smiled at me and put her hand in mine.
And poured another cup of wine, sweet California wine.

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
What a handsome lad, that's my boy
B-R-L-F-Q spells mom and dad
Well that ain't too bad, 'cause that's my boy
Well you can have your TV and your nightclubs
And you can have your drive-in - picture show
I'll stay here with my little man near
We'll listen to the radio
Biding my time watching Scotty grow

Making a castle out of building blocks
And a cardboard box, that's my boy
Micky Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock
Well that's quite a shock, but that's my boy
In four short years I've gone from rags to riches
And what I did before that, I don't know
So let it rain on my windowpane
I got my own rainbow
And we're sitting here shining,
watching Scotty grow

Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
Old sleepyhead, that's my boy
Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
A teddybear named Fred, that's my boy
What's that you say momma, come on and keep your feet warm?
Well save me a place I'll be there in a minute or so
I think I'll stay right here
And say a little prayer before I go
Me and God are watching Scotty grow
Me and God are watching Scotty grow

When I was a little boy, (when I was just a boy)
And the Devil would call my name (when I was just a boy)
I'd say "now who do,
Who do you think you're fooling?" (when I was just a boy)
I'm a consecrated boy (when I was just a boy)
I'm a singer in a Sunday choir
Oh , my mama loves, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me

When I was grown to be a man (grown to be a man)
And the Devil would call my name (grown to be a man)
I'd say "now who do,
Who do you think you're fooling?" (grown to be a man)
I'm a consummated man (grown to be a man)
I can snatch a little purity
My mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
And if I was President (was the President)
The minute Congress call my name (was the President)
I'd say "who do,
Who do you think you're fooling? (Who do you think you're fooling)

I've got the Presidential Seal (was the president)
I'm up on the Presidential Podium
My mama loves me
She loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me

Fade out:
She love me, love me, love me, love me
(loves me like a rock)

Birds and bees and all the flowers and trees and fishes on the line
Girls and gays in yellow boat are fine
Singing hello, summertime
A homely boat and the river to flow
With nothing on a mind
Summer moon above two people in love
Singing hello, summertime

Summertime, yes that is the song
Yes summertime and summertime fine
It's a time for two, just me and you
And summertime

Swing from the rain drop in full swing
Here's the water shoe looks fine
And nothing alone just float belong
Singing hello, summertime
Summertime grains lots of good friends
We all feel it fine
Watch the sun go down, hear the summer sounds
Singing hello summertime
